multi-factor
Multiple elements combined
Multi-factor describes something involving or requiring more than one element, criterion, or component.
Most commonly encountered in multi-factor authentication, where access requires multiple verification methods—typically something you know (password), something you have (phone), or something you are (fingerprint).
The term appears in other contexts like multi-factor analysis in statistics or finance, where multiple variables are considered together.
