What user factor may prompt Multifactor Authentication when configuring a global session policy?

The presence of cookies on a device is a key user factor that can prompt Multifactor Authentication (MFA) when configuring a global session policy. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on a user's device by the web browser. They can contain information about the user's session, including authentication tokens.

When a user logs in and a cookie is created, it helps the system recognize that user for subsequent visits. However, if the cookie has expired, been deleted, or is otherwise absent when the user attempts to access the application again, the system may require MFA to verify the user's identity. This is because the absence of the cookie suggests a potential change in device or an increased risk of unauthorized access, prompting the system to call for additional authentication measures to enhance security.

The other factors, while potentially relevant to the overall user experience or security context, do not directly trigger MFA in the same way as cookie presence does. Physical proximity to a device does not inherently impact authentications unless specifically configured to do so. Similarly, the time since the last login can indicate risk but does not directly cause an MFA prompt without specific conditions set in the security policies. Lastly, the type of user account may be informative in categorizing users or enforcing different policies, but it
