What is 2-Factor Authentication?
• Traditional authentication only uses elements from the first
category, such as username and password
• Reduced risk when using more elements from the first category,
referred to as “multifactor authentication”
• Further risk reduction when using elements from two categories
• Authentication model should match the risk; ATMs use two
factors because most people like cash
