MFA Security

MFA Security case study

MFA security protects against stolen passwords, phishing, recovery abuse, risky sessions, credential replay, and weak fallback paths.

• Attackers target passwords, recovery flows, help desks, sessions, OAuth grants, and weak second factors.
• MFA design should prioritize phishing resistance, protected recovery, monitoring, and session controls.
• The safest deployments reduce SMS reliance and enforce stronger factors for privileged users.
