In identity verification, scanning a user's fingerprint instead of entering a password or presenting a token is an example of which authentication factor category?
Something you do (behavioral factor)
Something you are (inherence factor)
Something you know (knowledge factor)
Something you have (possession factor)
Authentication factors are commonly grouped into three primary categories: something you know (knowledge), something you have (possession), and something you are (inherence). A fingerprint is a biometric trait that is part of the user's physical body, so it clearly falls under the inherence, or "something you are," category. By contrast, a password is knowledge-based, a hardware token is possession-based, and behavior patterns represent a separate "something you do" factor sometimes used in adaptive authentication.
