Question

what is the name of the two-step process that verifies that a person entering a username and password is the authorized user? a) password verification b) multi-factor authentication c) two-step password check d) security authorization

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Password verification typically involves just checking the password, not a two - step process with additional factors.
• Option B: Multi - factor authentication (MFA) is a process that uses two or more authentication factors (like something you know, something you have, something you are) to verify a user. A username - password (something you know) plus another factor (like a code from a phone, something you have) makes it a two - step MFA process.
• Option C: "Two - step password check" is not a standard term in security. It implies just checking the password in two steps, which is not accurate for user verification with an additional factor.
• Option D: Security authorization is about granting access rights after authentication, not the authentication process itself.

Answer:

B) multi - factor authentication
