Multi-factor authentication can be described as authenticating a person on the basis of factors provided by that person. The factors can be classified under three broad categories: “Something you have”, “Something you know”, and “Something you are”. These three factors can be hardware tokens, PIN, passwords, biological traits, and so on. Another type of authenticating factor is One Time Password (OTP), which is gaining popularity in Europe and North America. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides a high degree of security and convenience, which ensures confidentiality of personal information. This is superior to traditional one-factor username and passwords/PINs as these are easily guessed, and forgotten.
