A password is something you know, which can be used to create multifactor authentication when used with something you have, such as a hardware token or a smart card. Multifactor authentication is a security method that requires two or more factors of authentication to verify a user’s identity. Single sign-on is a feature that allows a user to access multiple applications or systems with one set of credentials, but it does not necessarily involve multifactor authentication. Geolocation is a feature that determines a user’s physical location based on GPS or other methods, but it does not necessarily involve multifactor authentication.
