Phishing-Resistant MFA vs. Standard MFA


Listen Later

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is important in securing sensitive accounts and systems. However, not all MFA solutions provide the same level of security. Standard MFA, though widely used, is still vulnerable to phishing and other sophisticated attacks. This gap has led to the rise of phishing-resistant MFA, which offers stronger protection against credential theft. Using advanced technologies, phishing-resistant MFA ensures a safer and more reliable authentication process.

What is Standard MFA?

Standard Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security process where users confirm their identity by providing two or more pieces of information. These factors typically include something you know (like a password), something you have (like a one-time code sent to your phone), or something you are (like a fingerprint). It adds an extra layer of protection beyond just a password. However, it relies on SMS or email codes, which can be vulnerable to phishing and other attacks. Standard MFA is widely used but not always the most secure option for critical systems.
