Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question
An organization is concerned about unauthorized access due to compromised passwords and wants to implement an authentication method that reduces this risk by requiring additional verification steps beyond just a password. Which authentication method should they implement?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides the organization with additional layers of security because users must provide more than one form of verification, such as a password and a code sent to their phone. This reduces the risk if a password is compromised.
Single sign-on (SSO) simplifies access by allowing users to sign in once to access multiple resources but doesn't necessarily improve security in this scenario.
Passwordless authentication removes the need for passwords and uses methods like biometrics, which may not align with the scenario's requirement for adding verification on top of a password.
Role-based access control (RBAC) is an authorization system that defines access permissions based on roles; it does not directly address the need for additional authentication steps.
