Abstract
The article discusses aspects of multi-factor authentication (MFA) using biometric data, which is one of the most effective methods of protecting information systems from unauthorized access. Traditional authentication methods such as passwords are often vulnerable to various types of attacks, including phishing and brute force attacks. The introduction of biometric data, such as fingerprints, and face and voice recognition, significantly increases the level of security due to their uniqueness and complexity of forgery. The article highlights the advantages and challenges associated with the integration of biometrics into MFA systems, including technical and organizational aspects. Examples of successful application of biometric technologies in various fields are also considered and recommendations are given to improve their reliability and ease of use. Special attention is paid to adaptive authentication and password-free methods, which represent the future of cybersecurity.
