Several recent intrusions into networks began when someone harvested the password and then spammed the user enough with a two-factor authentication prompt that the user accidentally and inappropriately approved the prompt. It’s also too easy, and attackers take advantage of our multifactor authentication notification fatigue to gain access to our systems. It’s quick and easy to approve these prompts. Often when you sign in, you will receive a pop-up notification sent to your phone or to your iWatch. With this method, a number is displayed to a user once they sign in and they have to confirm the exact number on the multifactor authentication device. In February of 2023, Microsoft will enable a new two-factor authentication methodology that is called number matching. ![]() Microsoft is tweaking their own recommendations for two-factor authentication. What about your MFA implementation?Įven if you have a working multifactor authentication or MFA implementation to your network or cloud resources, it’s time to reevaluate and see if you need to make further adjustments. ![]() We can no longer recommend changing passwords on a periodic basis and consider that an adequate security measure.Īdditionally, merely using two-factor authentication can lead to approval fatigue where a user gets lulled into a false sense of security and approves a prompt even though it may be the attacker who is triggering the two-factor authentication prompt. Our users know this, and more importantly, attackers know this as well. Authentication is the new entry point into our networks. ![]()
