something the user has, something the user knows, something the user is or does
Explanation:
Authentication factors.

"Security research has determined that for a positive identification, elements from at least two, and preferably all three, factors be verified. The three factors (classes) and some of elements of each factor are:

the ownership factors: Something the user has (e.g., wrist band, ID card, security token, software token, phone, or cell phone)
the knowledge factors: Something the user knows (e.g., a password, pass phrase, or personal identification number (PIN), challenge response (the user must answer a question))
the inherence factors: Something the user is or does (e.g., fingerprint, retinal pattern, DNA sequence (there are assorted definitions of what is sufficient), signature, face, voice, unique bio-electric signals, or other biometric identifier).

Obviously you can change the order of the first two elements in my answer (so it matches the order in the source text - sorry) and you could also abbreviate using the pronoun:

"something the user/customer knows, something they have, something they are or do"
