Abstract - Digital Multifactor authentication is the best way to implement secure authentication techniques. It covers multiple areas of Internet connected world that includes communications, online payments, access right management, etc. Sometime, Multifactor authentication become little complex as it requires some extra step from users to perform. In two factor authentication, user needs to enter special code received via SMS or a code that user already knows along with the User Id and password.

By creating multiple layers of defense, it will be more difficult for unauthorized users to access the targets such as physical locations, networks, computer equipment or databases. If first or second factor is destroyed or compromised, the attacker still has another barrier to break before successfully gaining access in the target.

Based on all previous researches, it has been deduced that the user authentication design based on Multi-factor Authentication is user-friendly and safe when specifically using factors such as something you know; In this case, users must enter a password that will be used when accessing wireless network facilities; that what you have; in this scenario, users will receive a one-time password.  Once token is obtained from sms server, it is used by user to authenticate with first factor. After that user provides something you are factor which includes fingerprints, facial recognition , retina scan etc
