using two factor authentication​ user access based on role-based privileges adding a biometrics identifier changing passwords at set intervals ------------------------------------ The process of controlling access begins with identifying who can see what type of information. Basic standards for privacy and confidentiality include requiring passwords that are changed at set intervals, setting a minimum number of characters, and two-factor authentication. Many organizations take a two-tier approach to authentication, by checking two factors, particularly over multiple devices. For example, using an authenticator mobile application. Adding a biometric identifier, like palm, finger, retina, or face recognition can increase the level of privacy and confidentiality. The user's access is based on preestablished, role-based privileges. Lifetime use does not apply.​

Which of the following ways are privacy and confidentiality of electronic health information enhanced? Select all that apply.​ Assign usernames and passwords.​ Give user access based on role-based privileges. ​ Add one-factor authentication.​ Change passwords at set intervals.
