multifactor
Several elements combined
Multifactor means involving or depending on multiple factors.
In finance, multifactor models explain returns through several variables rather than one.
Multifactor authentication requires more than one method to verify identity—a password plus a fingerprint, for instance.
The word appears almost exclusively as an adjective modifying nouns: multifactor analysis, multifactor risk assessment.
