This lesson explores the differences between single-factor and two-factor login, the types of hardware devices used in multi-factor authentication (MFA), potential issues with cell text-based MFA, and the security concerns of biometric MFA. It also introduces the concept of multi-factor authentication and different options such as USB hardware and RSA fobs. Additionally, it discusses the limitations and security issues associated with biometrics as a form of authentication.

GenCyber Day 5 5.4 Multi-factor Login
Objective of Lesson 5.4 • Explain the difference between single factor and two factor login • Explain the types of hardware/devices in multi-factor • Explain the potential issues with a cell text based multi-factor • Explain the security concerns of biometric MFA
The First Password Protected Computer • 1960’s MIT and Compatible Time Sharing System (CTSS) Fernando Corbato • Allowed different people to have password protected access • 1966 CTSS had a code problem and master password file was displayed when anyone logged into the system • Protected files for research mostly (from other CTSS users) • Today, what do we protect with passwords?
What is Multi-Factor Authentication • Multi-factor login requires a password and additional credentials • 2 Factor - password plus something you own • 3 Factor - password, something you “own”, and something you “are”
Multi-factor Authentication Options USB Hardware RSA Fob Software
Issue with Biometrics • If you are having issues with a password, what can you do? • How does that work with biometrics? https://blog.ipswitch.com/3-reasons-biometrics-are-not-secure
