| Multifactor authentication is defined as: using two or more factors to achieve authentication.
Factors include:
(i) something you know (e.g., password/PIN);
(ii) something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or
(iii) something you are (e.g., biometric).
A non-privileged account is defined as: An information system account with authorizations of a regular or non-privileged user.
When one of the authentication factors is provided by a device that is separate from the system that is being accessed, this is referred to as "out of band 2 factor authentication" (OOB2FA). This requirement is not applicable as by definition all network device accounts are privileged accounts. |
