{"data":{"markdownRemark":{"html":"<p>Authentication factors are the ways in which a user can be authenticated (verified that they are who they say they are).</p>\n<p>There are 3 factors:\n</br>1️⃣Knowledge factors - something the user knows (Ex. Password, pass phrase, security question)\n</br>2️⃣Ownership factors - something the user has (Ex. Cell phone, ID card, security token)\n</br>3️⃣Inherence factors - something the user is (Ex. Fingerprint, retinal pattern, DNA sequence and other biometric identifiers)</p>\n<p>Single-factor authentication is the weakest level of authentication that uses only one of the above. Normally, you’ll see that it’s from the knowledge factor - using a password.</p>\n<p>Two-factor authentication is using two factors from the above. You’ll see that GitHub uses 2 factor auth which requires the user to know their password and a token which is generally obtained from their cell phone.</p>\n<p>Multi-factor authentication involves two or more authentication factors. This is used where higher security is needed.</p>\n<h3>#buildtheweb #buildupdevs #code #coder #codingisfun #codinglife #computerscience #comp #dev #developer #devlife #educateyourself #fullstackdeveloper #geek #learntocode #lifeofadeveloper #programming #programmerrepublic #softwaredeveloper #softwareengineer #webdeveloper #womenintech #worldcode #javascript #html #css #instatech #cybersecurity</h3>","frontmatter":{"path":"/post-authentication-factors","title":"3 Types of Authentication Factors","author":"CodingBeenz","date":"30 April, 2019","featuredImage":{"childImageSharp":{"sizes":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/2wBDABALDA4MChAODQ4SERATGCgaGBYWGDEjJR0oOjM9PDkzODdASFxOQERXRTc4UG1RV19iZ2hnPk1xeXBkeFxlZ2P/2wBDARESEhgVGC8aGi9jQjhCY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2P/wgARCAAUABQDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAGAABAQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIBBAX/xAAWAQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwH/2gAMAwEAAhADEAAAAcvy7StxlMDbB//EABoQAAIDAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECAAMSEBH/2gAIAQEAAQUCR41kawgrmHPh6zbP/8QAFxEBAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQIRIP/aAAgBAwEBPwFJXj//xAAUEQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAg/9oACAECAQE/AR//xAAcEAABAwUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARExAhAhMqH/2gAIAQEABj8CINTNRKdJe7qf/8QAHRABAAICAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQARMWEQcVGB0f/aAAgBAQABPyEKumF5PUpDTthyA03Eke2/iZYbcvTA6Kn/2gAMAwEAAgADAAAAEH/fAP/EABsRAAEEAwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABEAARAhMaHw/9oACAEDAQE/EMR20xFz/8QAFBEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIP/aAAgBAgEBPxAf/8QAHxABAAIBAwUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQARIRAxkUFRYYHB/9oACAEBAAE/EAgZCzyShS3siZmSXUKo22vNewhxNdvijBgA6Lp50tY3RMVU4n//2Q==","aspectRatio":1,"src":"/static/08bef3f7aa47163e1ff2df98f17d1576/08385/featured-image.jpg","srcSet":"/static/08bef3f7aa47163e1ff2df98f17d1576/4a8c6/featured-image.jpg 158w,\n/static/08bef3f7aa47163e1ff2df98f17d1576/845c7/featured-image.jpg 315w,\n/static/08bef3f7aa47163e1ff2df98f17d1576/08385/featured-image.jpg 630w,\n/static/08bef3f7aa47163e1ff2df98f17d1576/7320b/featured-image.jpg 945w,\n/static/08bef3f7aa47163e1ff2df98f17d1576/487eb/featured-image.jpg 1080w","sizes":"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px"}}}}}},"pageContext":{"isCreatedByStatefulCreatePages":false}}
