WHY MFA IS BROKEN
MFA: Multi-Factor Authentication is Full of Friction & Vulnerable
MFA/2FA is unnecessary and annoying. It is a waste of time, causes unnecessary friction and is vulnerable. Better put it is stupid and at worst, dangerous.
​
We built authorization that is efficient, frictionless, more secure. Increasing user experience and security posture.
Multi-Factor Authentication is Broken
-
Poorly designed user entry security.
-
An annoyance to the user.
-
Leads to wasted time, especially when a code is not received or the second device is not with the authorized user.
-
In many instances this unnecessary process can be cumbersome if the other device is not near and an alternative method needs to be chosen, leading to user FRUSTRATION.
MFA: THE USER'S EXPERIENCE
Multi-Factor/2FA: the "Verification 2-Step"
Notification Pops up to User : "2-Step Verification."
-
Okay, I need my other device to be nearby, with battery and with internet connection.
-
Phew! Got it! That's all folks...Right!?
-
Ohh no, no wait you're going to have to unlock that device, find an app, open it and then click "Yes".
-
Geeez! That was unnecessary, but okay.
-
​Oh, wait, there's more
-
If you are lucky enough to get this version below (more secure) you'll also have to match this number AFTER you click OK.​
-
DANG! This Piece Of S...ecurity is so unnecessary. Now I have to get back into work mode.
MFA USER (FRICTION) EXPERIENCE
-
Where do I start? Do I need ALL my devices Near Me, With Charge AND an Internet Connection?
-
I'M RIGHT HERE! Can't we do this a bit better? Can't it detect my presence?
-
What a WASTE OF TIME!
-
Worst "2-Step" (security) dance invented!
The Cost of MFA: Killing us softly
​MFA is Death by 1000 cuts​
-
Tens of hours are lost each year with employees handling password resets, MFA workflow and login friction.
-
Leads to wasted time, especially when a code is not received or the second device is not with the authorized user.
-
In many instances this unnecessary process can be cumbersome, especially if the user's other device is not near and an alternative method needs to be chosen, leading to user wasted time & frustration.
12-30
Hours/Year
Wasted
Hour lost per employee
Enterprises with frequent logins and strict session policies often have much higher burdens. Industry estimates suggest: 12–30 hours per year lost per employee handling password resets, MFA workflows, and login friction
Productivity Loss
Annual cost per employee due to productivity loss, help desk handling, and SMS fees is approximately $700–$900
$432 loss per employee
$400 per employee
Helpdesk Support Costs
-
If an employee triggers approximately 2 password/2FA-related tickets/month
-
At 20 min per ticket and fully loaded help desk cost of $50/hr, that's $33/month ≈ $400/year per employee

MFA SECURITY BLIND SPOTS
We are currently not protecting unattended devices as well as we should. There are vulnerabilities and weaknesses currently present that are not being addressed. It is a growing problem as more people are working remote and accessing sensitive, personal and proprietary information from locations that are not secure and full of random people that could easily gain access to to a device or a logged in session.​
Not Human-Centric
-
Doesn't Proactively Protect "Field of View"
-
Doesn't look for Shoulder Surfers and protect sensitive information from visual hacking.
-
3M Study concluded that 88% of the time a visual eavesdropper successfully acquired sensitive data.
