my distain for cisco keeps growing

Selected Answer: BC Single sign-on lets users access multiple applications, websites, resources with one set of login credentials. It is not part of MFA, it actually needs MFA to be secured. A soft (or hard) token can be part of MFA An expiring password can be part of MFA

Selected Answer: BE The correct answers are (E) unique user knowledge and (B) soft tokens. Explanation: Single sign-on (SSO) is not an example of multifactor authentication. SSO lets users access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. Passwords that expire are a security policy that forces regular password changes, but this is not an example of multifactor authentication by itself. Soft tokens are a form of multifactor authentication. They are usually software-based applications that generate one-time passwords or time-based codes for users to use along with their regular passwords. Shared password responsibility is not an example of multifactor authentication. It refers to the practice of distributing account credentials among multiple people, which is generally not recommended for security reasons.

Selected Answer: BE Multifactor authentication needs different factors or categories of credentials. Knowledge factors include unique user knowledge (like the name of your pet) and passwords possession factors include keys, security tokens (soft and hard tokens), and authorized smartphone apps. To apply a 2-factor authentication we need 2 methods from different categories. In our case, B & E belong to 2 different categories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3rlQVXGKZc&t=67s

Selected Answer: BE B & E Types of Authentication Factors MFA generally refers to five types of authentication factors which are expressed as: Knowledge: Something the user knows, like username, password, or a PIN. Possession: Something the user has, like a safety token. Heritage: Something the user is, which can be demonstrated with fingerprint, retina verification, or voice recognition. Place: Based on the user's physical position. Time: A time-based window of opportunity to authenticate like OTP.

Selected Answer: BE B,E is the right answer Something you know Something you have something you are

ccna 200-301 is just the start of this network industry. why do they do this? the question is ok but the choices...... :((

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that requires users to provide two or more different forms of identification before gaining access to a system or service. These factors usually fall into three categories: something you know (like a password), something you have (like a smartphone), and something you are (like a fingerprint).

Selected Answer: BE Answer: B and E https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/what-is-multi-factor-authentication.html#~methods <MFA methods> 1. Knowledge Knowledge--usually a password--is the most commonly used tool in MFA solutions. However, despite their simplicity, passwords have become a security problem and slow down productivity. The security question--another knowledge method in wide use but falling out of favor--requires the user to store the answer to a personal question in their profile and then enter it during login. This process is seen as onerous by many users because of the need for repeated data entry and storing and managing their answers.

Chat GPT: Multifactor authentication (MFA) uses multiple ways to verify a user's identity. Among the options you've listed, the two examples of MFA are: B. Soft tokens - Soft tokens usually use a mobile app or software application on a device to generate time-based codes or one-time passwords, adding an extra layer of authentication beyond just a password. E. Unique user knowledge - This usually means knowledge-based authentication, where a user has to provide information that only they would know, such as answering security questions or giving personal information in addition to their password.

this question doesn't test candidate knowledge- it just tricks you- whoever wrote is question is out of it

a password is a type of unique user knowledge, and it's a different method of authentication than a token, so Cisco would have to accept either as a correct solution, as long as the other solution chosen is token.

A password that expires cannot authenticate because it has expired, therefore it cannot be part of MFA.... "Something that you know" is maybe the new password that has not expired and you can use to authenticate with.

Answer is BE

Selected Answer: BC password and unique user knowledge are both something you know, so i don't think that works. BC include something you know and something you have.

'unique user knowledge' is something you know lol how can someone be unique user knowledge

Selected Answer: BE The question wording is wrong: B and D are "part", not "examples" of a M.A. !!! Anyway... :-(

Sorry, B and E

Selected Answer: BC Soft tokens and password will make up MFA. E does not make sense, unique user knowledge can be used in creating password for example, but it is not part of MFA.

Selected Answer: BE C is not OTP B is OTP
