+AC-07(04) Use of Alternate Authentication Factor

AC-07(04) Use of Alternate Authentication Factor

Control

  1. Allow the use of [Assignement: authentication factors] that are different from the primary authentication factors after the number of organization-defined consecutive invalid logon attempts have been exceeded; and
  2. Enforce a limit of [Assignement: number] consecutive invalid logon attempts through use of the alternative factors by a user during a [Assignement: time period].

Discussion

The use of alternate authentication factors supports the objective of availability and allows a user who has inadvertently been locked out to use additional authentication factors to bypass the lockout.

Assessment Objective

  1. [Assignement: authentication factors] that are different from the primary authentication factors are allowed to be used after the number of organization-defined consecutive invalid logon attempts have been exceeded;
  2. a limit of [Assignement: number] consecutive invalid logon attempts through the use of the alternative factors by the user during a [Assignement: time period] is enforced.
