SMS two-factor authentication validates the identity of a user by texting a security code to their mobile device. The user then enters the code into the website or application to which they’re authenticating.
The Time-Based One Time Password (TOTP) 2FA method generates a key locally on the device a user is attempting to access. The security key is typically a QR code that the user scans with their mobile device to create a series of numbers. The user then inputs those numbers into the website or application to gain access. The passcodes generated by authenticators expire after a certain period of time, and a new one will be generated the next time a user logs in to an account. TOTP is part of the Open Authentication (OAUTH) security architecture.
Push-based 2FA improves on SMS and TOTP 2FA by adding additional layers of security, while improving ease of use for end users. Push-based 2FA confirms a user’s identity with multiple factors of authentication that other methods cannot. Duo Security is the leading provider of push-based 2FA.
U2F tokens secure two-factor authentication by using a physical USB port to validate the location and identity of a user attempting to login. To use a U2F token, a user inserts the token into their device and presses the button located on the top of the device. Once the token is activated, the user inputs their PIN and gains access to their accounts.
A simple keychain hardware token that generates an authentication token/code at the push of a little green button. It’s easy, quick, and doesn’t require your employees to have a mobile application to gain access to your business critical systems.
Created by the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance and W3C, the Web Authentication API is a specification that enables strong, public key cryptography registration and authentication. WebAuthn (Web Authentication API) allows third parties like Duo to tap into built-in biometric authenticators on laptops and smartphones, letting users authenticate quickly and with the tools they already have at their fingertips.
Don’t let one employee’s re-use of passwords compromise your company and destroy your reputation.
Let’s face it, it’s very difficult to remember and maintain passwords for every website, computer, remote office, or third-party application. Gravely, many of those third-party systems are easily compromised. You run the possibility of spilling your employee’s information onto the dark web where criminals sell your company email addresses and passwords for pennies. When an assailant has your email address, they also have your company name by simply googling the email domain. They normally also have your first name, last name, and often even your commonly used security questions. Supplied with this information it’s very simple for cyber criminals to begin their attack against your public applications, websites or bank portals.
