A company has client computers that run Windows 8.
The company implements the following security requirements:
· All client computers must use two-factor authentication.
· At least one authentication method must include more than four characters or gestures.
You need to choose authentication methods that comply with the security requirements.
Which two authentication methods should you choose? (Each correct answer presents part
of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
PIN
B.
Biometric authentication
C.
Picture Password
D.
Microsoft Account
Explanation:
More than 4 characters are of course supported with the Microsoft Account.
It is something the user knows. The picture password would be another thing the user knows
(gestures).
So there’s only MS Account and Biometric authentication left.
Two-factor authentication requires the use of two of the three authentication factors:
Something the user knows (e.g., password, PIN);
Something the user has (physical Object) (e.g., ATM card, smart card); and
Something the user is (e.g., biometric characteristic, such as a fingerprint).
The factors are identified in the standards and regulations for access to U.S. Federal
Government systems.
It is not to my knowledge that Biometric authentication works with “Microsoft Account”
Pin number is not necessary something you know. In case of RSA security key, it is something you have. When two factor authentication (verification) is enabled with Microsoft account, pin number is SMSed to mobile phone ( something you have) if logging on from an untrusted PC. If logging on from a PC nominated as trusted (something you have), pin is not required.
