Explanation:

Authentication technologies are used by many organizations to confirm the identity of a user requesting access to information or assets. Authentication is used to secure data and ensure access is given to an authorized user. There are four main types of authentication technologies that can be used in an organisation. The first one is the password-based technology where a user provides a user id and a password to gain access to information. There is also a certificate-based technology which uses digital certificates to authenticate users. The third technology is the E-Token Based authentication where a device generates a random number whenever it is used, the number generated can be used in place of a password. The fourth alternative is biometric technology , which identify users by their physical characteristics such as their fingerprints, voice or facial features.
