Multi-factor authentication
Enterprise Authentication supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), which uses a combination of
authentication factors to determine user identities.
The more factors used to determine user identities, the greater the trust of authenticity.
Strong MFA uses combinations of these factors:
• Something you know, such as a password or PIN
• Something you have, such as a token or smart card
