The security benefits and simplicity of integrating 2FA into your applications and software.
Recurring cases of attacks on personal accounts…
Many statistics reveal that cases of account breaches and spoofing have increased significantly in recent years. In the majority of cases, hackers obtain login credentials and information through phishing, i.e. by inviting the owner to enter them on a platform using the logo of a bank, social network, or any other trusted site under the pretext of a technical failure.
The usecurewebsite speaks of a real “emerging trend of social engineering scams that are increasingly used by hackers”. He also states that “today, phishing emails can be hyper-personalized, sophisticated, difficult to detect and surprisinglyrealistic, even for the most security-savvy people.”
As a result, even the most experienced among us can fall victim to these frauds. That’s why we strongly recommend integrating 2-factor authentication into all logins created by a developer.
Access your account in two inseparable steps!
lebigdata.fr calls 2-factor authentication or 2FA “an additional security step for verifying credentials to your accounts.” For its part, here is how Microsoft defines this process: “2-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method based on identity and access management that imposes two forms of identification to access resources and data.” If 2FA is enabled, the steps to access an account are as follows:
- Entering login information: email address andpassword;
- Receive a code by SMS or email / Authentication via a dedicated application;
- Enter the code sent in the corresponding field;
- Access your account
Why integrate 2FA into all logins created by a developer?
The main function of 2-factor authentication is to protect an account so that no malicious individual can access it, even if they have credentials such as email addresses, credit card numbers and passwords.
The Works, Payworks’ official blog, states: “If a password were to be compromised for any reason, malicious individuals would not be able to access the second verification code or, therefore, the account protected by the 2FA.” By protecting access to an account, 2FA ultimately makes it possible to limit, or even avoid, the risks of data theft and leakage, identity theft or fraud.
