CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 222

A company is implementing MFA for all applications that store sensitive data. The IT manager wants MFA to be non-disruptive and user friendly. Which of the following technologies should the IT manager use when implementing MFA?

Answer options

• A. One-time passwords
• B. Email tokens
• C. Push notifications
• D. Hardware authentication

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Push notifications, as they provide a quick and user-friendly way to approve authentication requests. One-time passwords and email tokens can be inconvenient for users, requiring them to retrieve codes. Hardware authentication may involve additional devices, making it less user-friendly and potentially disruptive.
