π Day 14 β Multi-Factor Authentication u0026 Passkeys
Whatβs up Sβmores! π« Iβm Shannon Morse, and welcome back to my 30-Day Security Challenge β the series where we make your digital life smarter, safer, and way more secure.
Today weβre adding another layer of armor to your online accounts: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Passkeys. Even if someone steals your password, this step stops them cold.
Weβll cover:
β
What MFA actually is (and how it works)
β
Why SMS codes arenβt as safe as you think
β
The difference between 2FA and MFA
β
Why hardware keys like YubiKeys are the gold standard
β
How passkeys will replace passwords entirely
π§ Key Takeaways:
– MFA = multi-layer defense for your logins
– Passkeys = the future of password-free authentication
– Hardware keys = phishing-proof security that works offline
