Unfortunately I could not get what you want with the built-in function Factor.
I hope someone else succeed.
Anyway here is my solution
Clear[f, x, y, myfactor]
myfactor[f_, x_] := Times @@ Apply[Plus, Solve[f == 0, x], 2]
f[A_, y_] := A^4 + 3 + y^2
(myfactor[f[A, y], #1] & ) /@ Variables[f[A, y]]
{(A - (-3 - y^2)^(1/4))*(A - I*(-3 - y^2)^(1/4))*(A + I*(-3 -
y^2)^(1/4))*(A + (-3 - y^2)^(1/4)),
(-Sqrt[-3 - A^4] + y)*(Sqrt[-3 - A^4] + y)}
