We use RDP + TS gateway over VPN which you have to auth your remote key before you can connect.

That's 4 factor :)



How many times do you enter in the same credentials throughout the logging process?


There are four entirely different credentials.

Pain to remember, but it's definitely secure.


Doesn't one key-logger on the client computer reveal all of the passwords?

That's one-factor authentication.

Two-factor means you need two things, not just the passwords, but for instance also a device.

You mentioned a remote key, so yes, it sounds like you have two-factor. But not four.


I have a signify key as well so yes it is minimally two-factor.

Fair point about the keylogger. I didn't consider that - it's not my network to worry about :)
