The two-factor authentication is the authentication method to enhance safety by combining two different types of information items among three types of information items: "something the user knows", "something the user provides", and "personal attributes".
When the connection to multiple networks is enabled, the following two-factor authentication methods are available on this machine.
IC card authentication + PIN code authentication
Biometric authentication + PIN code authentication
