Uniqueness of credentials

It is important to know that, in general, a user can only possess one single credential per credential type. However, there are exceptions to this rule, which are useful to users who have different hardware devices or wish to accomplish different levels of authentication.

Of the following credential types, a user can own more than one:

Generic credentials
Certificate credentials
Kerberos credentials
Device password credentials
Context password credentials
OTP credentials (a user can own a maximum of 2 of them)
OATH credentials
SAML federation credentials
FIDO UAF credentials
FIDO 2 credentials
