Remote authentication has always been a concern because the person is coming from a public network, and many companies require two-factor authentication for remote access. Which of the following is not one of the most commonly accepted types of credentials?

something you want to know

The correct answer is letter "D": something you want to know.

Explanation:

Two-Factor Authentications are necessary when users access to certain systems or software from a remote location that might not be secure. The first step consists of providing the user's username and password which indicates something you are. The second factor requires providing a sort of passcode sent in a token for instance - something you have - or going through facial recognition - something you are.

Thus, something you want to know is not considered in the two-factor authentication process.

Incomplete Question.

I'll answer this question based on general terms

Explanation:

Two Factor Authentication, abbreviated as 2FA.

It is a type of authentication that requires the presentation of two credentials for access to personal data and information.

The credentials needed for a 2FA are

1. Either of the following; PIN, Password or Pattern

2. Your device or gadget which could be an ATM Card, Mobile Phone

3. Biometrics such as fingerprint, voice input

Number one is often referred to as "Something you know"

Number two is referred to as "Something you have"

Number three is referred to as "Something you are"

The 2FA doesn't require the three aforementioned credentials. It only needs just two of the credentials to provide its authentication.
