Why MFA Alone Isn’t Enough <strong>for</strong> True <strong>Cyber</strong>security<br />

By Bojan Simic, Co-Founder, Interim CEO & CTO, HYPR<br />

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) was once a <strong>for</strong>eign terminology, but today, with the myriad of hacks<br />

and data breaches dominating headlines, it’s fair to say that most individuals now see MFA as a nobrainer<br />

– <strong>for</strong> now. When thinking about MFA, both companies and consumers alike consider it to be a<br />

safer, more secure option. And while that isn’t necessarily untrue (as it is safer than single-factor<br />

authentication), it doesn’t bypass the increasingly large password issue developing across digital<br />

mediums. In fact, despite widespread MFA adoption, account takeover fraud generated a $3.3 billion loss<br />

in 2020.<br />

Ever since the “password” was invented in the 1960s, it has been a topic of contention. The intent, always<br />

positive; but the efficacy, an ongoing debate – especially with the pace at which technology is evolving.<br />

As it stands today, there are three different kinds of MFA, the first being One-Time Passwords (OTP).<br />

OTP are a string of digits that are provided to a user via an app after they have entered a username and<br />

password; however, OTP are still based on passwords (it’s in the name, after all!) and are there<strong>for</strong>e<br />

subject to MFA phishing, mobile malware and keyloggers.<br />
