Using something you have. This method is relatively easy to do, whether by using the key to one's vehicle, a document, a card, or a badge. Utilizing something you know, a name, a secret, or a password. Through
Biometric-based systems avoid some weaknesses of traditional token- and knowledge-based authentication approaches by replacing “something you possess” or “something you know” with “something you are” (Ratha et al., 2001; Goudelis et al., 2008; Lee et al., 2013). Biometrics technology ...
The use of face scans, fingerprints, and voice biometrics is ramping up. In the near future, we’ll use them to diagnose diseases, stop ATM theft, thwart retail crime, and blow the whistle on threats in schools or government agencies. Someday soon you’ll even pay for your groceries wit...
Where the user needs to know something (password), have something (a two-factor authentication code) and be something (fingerprint). If the user lacks any of these three pieces of information, they won't be able to log in. And while biometric data is harder to steal, fingerprints or voi...
Fingerprint biometrics is a commonly used form of biometric security that is easy to use, hard to fool, and often a cost-effective strategy, relying on something a person has. Fingerprints cannot be forgotten or lost like a password or ID card, and no two people share finger...

Something you have (like a hardware token) or something you know (like a password) Two-factor authentication makes a powerful combination, especially asIoT devicesproliferate. By layering the protection,secured internet devicesbecome less vulnerable to data breaches. ...
There is always hype around emerging technologies — biometrics is no exception. Often those with the loudest voices have major interests in seeing it adopted. This is no surprise, but it can give a distorted picture of what something actually does (i.e. 'it solves all your problems') and...

mfa is preferred when an extra layer of security is needed. while biometrics provide a strong authentication method, combining it with something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a token) enhances overall security. mfa ensures that even if one factor is compromised, there...
