Why each option
FortiGate supports two-factor authentication using methods such as FortiToken, email-based codes, and SMS messages.
FortiToken provides hardware or software tokens that generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for two-factor authentication, a core Fortinet 2FA method.
Email-based two-factor authentication sends a one-time password or code to the user's registered email address, requiring them to enter it to complete authentication.
SMS phone messages can be used to deliver a one-time password or code to the user's registered mobile phone number for second-factor verification.
Code books, while a form of multi-factor authentication, are not a commonly supported or modern method offered directly by FortiGate for 2FA implementations.
