Something you have and something you are is the most expensive MFA combination, which is why it isn’t common.

Fingerprint + Authenticator as well.

If its an authenticator app, then its password based, as ultimately the password or pin is needed to unlock the phone.
If its a standalone authenticator device, then yes thats MFA. But like I said, its the most expensive option since you would have to purchase devices.

My authenticator app requires my fingerprint, which is biometric, so fingerprint plus device for the MFA.

If its an Android or iOS phone, then it will prompt for a password or pin after a few failed fingerprint scans.
Fingerprint is just there for convenience, but you can get around it in most cases.
