If passwords were the only mode of authentication, all it would take is one user's weak or stolen password to infiltrate your IT environment. Many infamous cyberattacks on large-scale industries such as the Colonial Pipeline and Ireland’s Health Service Executive started with one exposed password.Moreover, 57% of people who have already been victims of phishing attacks still haven't changed their passwords. According to password statistics put forth by dataprot, 51% of people use the same password for work and personal accounts.It also states that there has been a 13% increase in ransomware breaches of late, which is an alarmingly high rate compared to the last five years combined.Verizon states that 82% of data breaches involve human vulnerabilities, like social engineering, errors, and misuse.Passwords can no longer be considered the only reliable factor for authentication. The aim of the second authentication factor is to get users to prove their identities using secure factors, like something that only they know (security questions, passwords, PINs), something that only they have (SMS or email OTPs, smart cards, software tokens), or something that only they are (biometrics or behavioral analysis). The other could be anything ranging from an OTP or biometrics to a hardware token. One of the factors is usually a password.
