Abstract
Security and privacy concerns when using cloud computing services are similar to those of the traditional noncloud services. Cloud Computing represents dynamic area during present days with new security level and trust. In this paper, we have analyzed the authentication techniques adopted by the users. There are various cloud computing issues like security, privacy, trust etc. which should be solved quickly to increase the user trust in cloud-based services. There are so many techniques to secure data in cloud like user id and password, pattern lock system, biometric system, one-time password (OTP) via email or SMS etc. Through this paper, we have tried to analyze how multifactor authentication techniques are adopted by end users. The result obtained after the analysis related to authentication techniques adopted and preferred by the users are given using various visual summaries.
