CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 134

A user receives a push notification to approve or deny a log-in request when using MFA. Which of the following describes this security measure?

Answer options

• A. One-time password
• B. Zero Trust model
• C. Authenticator application
• D. Privileged access management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an authenticator application is specifically designed to generate or manage push notifications for MFA approvals. Option A, one-time password, refers to a different mechanism where a unique code is sent for a single use, while B, Zero Trust model, is a broader security philosophy that does not directly relate to this specific notification feature. D, privileged access management, involves controlling access for users with elevated permissions, which is also not the focus of this question.
