What are the three authentication factors?
Short answer. Something you know, have, or are.
Is a stolen password enough with 2FA on?
No. A second proof is still needed.
Two kinds of proof
| Factor | Example |
|---|---|
| Know | Password |
| Have | Phone code |
| Are | Fingerprint |
Remember
| Password plus phone |
Your password was stolen. Can you still be safe? Yes. Two factor authentication needs two kinds of proof. Something you know, a password. Something you have, a phone. Or something you are. Password plus phone keeps thieves out.
