Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Designer — Question 16

Universal Containers (UC) has decided to build a new, highly sensitive application on the Lightning platform. The security team at UC has decided that they want users to provide a fingerprint in addition to username/password to authenticate to this application.
How can an Architect support fingerprints as a form of identification for Salesforce authentication?

Answer options

• A. Use Custom Login Flows with callouts to a third-party fingerprint scanning application.
• B. Use Salesforce Two-factor Authentication with callouts to a third-party fingerprint scanning application.
• C. Use Delegated Authentication with callouts to a third-party fingerprint scanning application.
• D. Use an AppExchange product that does fingerprint scanning with native Salesforce Identity Confirmation.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using an AppExchange product specifically designed for fingerprint scanning ensures seamless integration with Salesforce Identity Confirmation. The other options, while they involve callouts to third-party applications, do not provide a direct method to incorporate fingerprint scanning within Salesforce authentication as effectively as an AppExchange solution.
