The need to use a 2-factor authentication solution, i.e. the multi-step process for verifying an identity when logging in, is now indispensable. 2FA is one of the fundamental anchors of any defense strategy.
Bitkom has just published a study that shows that two-factor authentication has not yet become established, although it massively increases security. Unfortunately, many still rely on complex passwords.
Bitkom determines: Still passwords instead of 2FA
When creating passwords, three quarters of Internet users in Germany (74 percent) pay attention to complex passwords that contain a mix of letters, numbers and special characters, making it difficult to guess. But that is fewer than a year ago, when 83 percent took appropriate care. This is the result of a current survey commissioned by the digital association Bitkom. Wherever possible, two-factor authentication should be used. This means that attackers cannot access online accounts using the password alone, which significantly increases security.
Fast protection for companies
It is all the more important that the solution used is well integrated into the usual work process, can be flexibly adapted to different scenarios and is of course secure against any kind of manipulation and attacks. Combining these goals was the basis for developing the tetraguard 2FA solution.
