  • B. The user swipes a key fob, then clicks through an email link.

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
This is an example of how two-factor authentication (2FA) works:
1. The user logs in to the website or service with their username and password.
2. The password is validated by an authentication server and, if correct, the user becomes eligible for the second factor.
3. The authentication server sends a unique code to the user's second-factor method (such as a smartphone app).
4. The user confirms their identity by providing the additional authentication for their second-factor method.

I agree with Zanna. I suspect that the original question must have asked "Which set of actions *does not* satisfy the requirement for multifactor authentication"

Agreed, that's the only way this question makes sense. Poorly worded either way. A) Something you know twice so not multi factor. B) Key Fob is something you have, email has username and pass so something you know C) Username/Pass something known, auth app something you have D) PIN something known, RSA Token something you have
