While LaunchKey relies of physical possession as an authentication factor at its most basic level, LaunchKey provides and encourages the use of multi-factor authentication through additional factors such as a knowledge factor (PIN or Combo Lock) and inherence factor (geographic location). Comparing a single factor of authentication, as is the case with a password (knowledge) or Inkan (possession), to that of the multi-factor authentication found in LaunchKey (possession + knowledge + inherence) is a fallacy.
