Explanation

The combination of authentication mechanisms that is implemented in the above scenario is biometric and password authentication. Biometric authentication is a type of authentication that uses an inherent factor, such as a retina scan, to verify the identity of the user. Password authentication is a type of authentication that uses a knowledge factor, such as a six-digit code, to verify the identity of the user. By combining biometric and password authentication, Finch has implemented a two-factor authentication (2FA) system that requires the user to provide two different types of authentication factors to gain access to the office. 2FA is a more secure way of authentication than using a single factor, as it reduces the risk of unauthorized access due to stolen or compromised credentials. Biometric and password authentication is a common 2FA method that is used in many applications, such as banking, e-commerce, or health care.
