Oct 25, 2013 at 17:11 comment added paj28 Another way to think about this: if you write down your password on a post-it note, is that then "something you have"?
Oct 25, 2013 at 17:07 comment added malthe I guess it's like the modern way of knowing things, i.e. I know how to find out really quick (using the internet).
Oct 25, 2013 at 12:57 comment added paj28 Either way, it is still one of the three factors mentioned, so the distinction is irrelevant for this question. These terms are not used 100% consistently. My thinking is that unless a key is securely contained within a physical object (like a smart card) that forbids extraction then it is something you know. Some people say that to be something you know, you must know it in your head alone, but I don't agree with that.
