AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - What is Multifactor Authentication

The video tutorial explains multifactor authentication, which involves using at least two factors for security. The primary factors are: something you know (e.g., passwords), something you are (e.g., biometrics like fingerprints), and something you have (e.g., RSA tokens or authenticator apps). Additional factors like geographical location are mentioned but are less common. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of integrating these factors to protect applications from unauthorized access, even if credentials are compromised.

What is an example of 'something you know' in multifactor authentication?

• Fingerprint

• Password

• RSA Token

• Geographical Location

Which of the following is considered 'something you are' in authentication?

• RSA Token

• Password

• Authenticator App

• Fingerprint

What is an example of 'something you have' in multifactor authentication?

• Facial Recognition

• Password

• RSA Token

• Geographical Location

Which factor of authentication is based on geographical location?

• Something you know

• Something you are

• Something you have

• Somewhere you are

Why is it important to integrate a second factor of authentication?

• To eliminate the need for passwords

• To prevent unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised
