      What is 'two-factor authentication'

      (2FA)?
      A Using two different passwords for the same account Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Verifying identity using two distinct categories of credentials Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Encrypting data with two different algorithms Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Logging in from two different devices simultaneously Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Having two separate user accounts for security Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      2FA combines two of three categories β€” something you know (password/PIN), something you have (OTP/token/smart card), something you are (biometrics). RBI mandates 2FA for all internet banking transactions in India. An OTP sent to a registered mobile after password entry is the classic bank example.
