An organization wants to enhance its authentication process by requiring users to provide both a password and a hardware token before accessing the network. Which authentication method should they implement to achieve this?
Implementing multifactor authentication combines two or more authentication factors, such as something you know (password) and something you have (hardware token), providing stronger security than single-factor methods. Complex passwords and password expiration policies improve password security but do not involve additional authentication factors. Biometric authentication uses something you are (e.g., fingerprint), but in this scenario, combining a password with a hardware token aligns with multifactor authentication.
