Authentication: what do fridge and gun have in common?

All with Friday, dear Habravites! As you know, two-factor authentication is used in our Mail, Calendar, and Cloud. In the months that have passed since its introduction, the support service has accumulated enough factual material that makes it clear that many users (and even advanced ones) are confused in technical terms. Why did we get this - under the cut.

To begin with, many users confuse the concepts of “authentication”, “authorization” and “identification”. As Wikipedia tells us:

• Authentication is an authentication procedure.
• Authorization - granting rights to perform certain actions; as well as the process of verification (confirmation) of these rights.
• Identification - recognition of identity, identification of objects, identification.

As you can see, the meaning of these three terms is different. Someone already knows about this, someone has now learned something new for himself, and someone will say that some of the definitions are identical, simply described in different words. As practice shows, many users who contact our support service desperately confuse the terms when they talk about two-factor authentication. And today we decided to share with you the most interesting examples of user requests. So, what do people call two-factor authentication? Read the list below, the author's spelling is completely preserved (the grammar-Nazi is indignant). And eight of them, we tried to illustrate which drawing refers to what - try to guess for yourself.
