As we’ve seen threats to password security increase in recent years, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has gained rapid adoption. For consumer and enterprise web and mobile applications, it’s become a key method of increasing authentication assurance.

In this guide, we cover a lot of ground around authentication. First, we review the results of a survey, completed in partnership with IDG, that displays the industry-wide focus on strong authentication, security, and IAM. Second, we highlight how to select the most bespoke and secure MFA policies and solutions for your particular organization. Finally, based on our observations working with engineering and product teams, we provide practical advice for building multi-factor authentication for your applications.
