Phone factor authentication eliminates numerous other authentication methods for IT. It sticks to phone hence provides flexibility to IT. It further consists of three methods of authentication:
- Phone Call
- Text Message
- Push Notification
Email Authentication
When a user logs in, a validation code or one-time code is generated and is sent to the inbox of the user. Email authentication also generates a go-to link for user verification.
Security Questions
Security Questions let users choose from a list of security questions (along with a customize option), which helps them retrieve their passwords whenever needed. The right set of security questions makes a user’s account secure and strong.
