The landscape for instant messaging involves cross-platform instant messaging clients that can handle one or multiple protocols. [1] Clients that use the same protocol can typically federate and talk to one another.
Google Authenticator is a software-based authenticator by Google.It implements multi-factor authentication services using the time-based one-time password (TOTP; specified in RFC 6238) and HMAC-based one-time password (HOTP; specified in RFC 4226), for authenticating users of software applications.
To establish TOTP authentication, the authenticatee and authenticator must pre-establish both the HOTP parameters and the following TOTP parameters: T 0, the Unix time from which to start counting time steps (default is 0), T X, an interval which will be used to calculate the value of the counter C T (default is 30 seconds).
Authenticator apps provide secure verification codes that act as the second step in 2-step verification. After entering your password, you'll need to enter the code generated by your authenticator app to sign in.
The Central Authentication Service (CAS) is a single sign-on protocol for the web. [1] Its purpose is to permit a user to access multiple applications while providing their credentials (such as user ID and password) only once.
OAuth is an authorization protocol, rather than an authentication protocol. Using OAuth on its own as an authentication method may be referred to as pseudo-authentication. [26] The following diagrams highlight the differences between using OpenID (specifically designed as an authentication protocol) and OAuth for authorization.
For the iOS and Android versions of the mobile app, when prompted for the verification code, you'll need to follow a similar process to the web interface. If you need to use a scratch code, first choose to use a backup code, and then enter the scratch code.
Knowledge-based authentication, commonly referred to as KBA, is a method of authentication which seeks to prove the identity of someone accessing a service such as a financial institution or website. As the name suggests, KBA requires the knowledge of private information from the individual to prove that the person providing the identity ...
