This page is about around the theory of authentication, not actual authentication mechanisms as exposed by software systems.

The three authentication factors:

• Something you know, such as a password or PIN.
• Something you have, such as a credit card or hardware token.
• Something you are, such as a fingerprint, a retinal pattern, or other biometrics.

Authentication strength:

• One authentication factor is considered as weak authentication.
• More than one authentication factor is considered strong authentication.
