Multi-Factor Authentication and OneLogin

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a system of security that verifies the user identity. Instead of simply asking for a username and password combination, MFA requires additional credentials for access.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Codes generated by smartphone apps
  • Badges, USB devices, or other physical devices
  • Soft tokens, certificates
  • Fingerprints
  • Codes sent to an email address
  • Facial recognition
  • Retina or iris scanning
  • Behavioral analysis
  • Risk score
  • Answers to personal security questions

 

There are three types of authentication factors when referring to MFA:

  • Something you know (knowledge) i.e. a password or PIN.
  • Something you have (possession) i.e. your smartphone or physical security key.
  • Something you are (inheritance) i.e. biometrics such as a fingerprint or facial recognition.

 

Newer MFA solutions have the ability to incorporate additional context and behavior markers during authentication.

  • Where you are (location).
  • When you are accessing (time of access).
  • What kind of device and/or network you are using (hardware using to access).
