Stolen credentials have been a factor in nearly a third of all breaches, emphasizing the vulnerability of password-based authentication systems.
FIDO2 authentication relies on cryptographic credentials tied to hardware devices, reducing the reliance on passwords and enhancing security through multifactor authentication.
Even modern protections like FIDO2 can be bypassed by determined attackers, as evidenced by a man-in-the-middle attack that hijacks user sessions in SSO applications.
Standards like FIDO2 aim to mitigate phishing and MITM attacks by moving away from easily stealable factors like passwords to hardware-based or biometric authentication.
