What are the types of Sharepoint authentication?

SharePoint offers various types of authentication methods to ensure the security of its system. These include Windows Authentication, Forms-Based Authentication, and SAML-Based Claims Authentication. Windows Authentication allows users to authenticate using their local Active Directory account. Forms-Based Authentication permits authentication through a custom form and can use credentials from a database. Lastly, SAML-Based Claims Authentication enables users to authenticate through an external system, typically for cross-domain authentication. Each of these authentication types provides different levels of security and flexibility. Users can choose the method that best suits their requirements.
