WGU Courses and Certificates Network-and-Security-Foundation Question # 2 Topic 1 Discussion

Multifactor authentication (MFA)requires users to verify their identity usingmultiple factors, such assomething they know (password), something they have (a token or phone), or somewhere they are (geolocation-based access control). Requiring both location verification andpassword authentication demonstrates MFA.

Certificate verificationchecks digital certificates for security but does not use multiple authentication factors.

User-based accountinglogs user activities but does not verify identity.

Single sign-on (SSO)allows access to multiple systems with one login but is not necessarily MFA.
