Passwords are killing us. It is evidenced in almost every highly publicized damaging breach of public and private sector services. Alas, the tide is rising and multi-factor authentication is starting to float all boats. The password isn't on life support yet, but it is certainly starting to feel the effets of age. And not for just high-value transactions. The meteoric rise of mobility, IoT, user-centricity, and innovative technologies has allowed MFA to permeate low-value yet highly accessed services.
