Implementing Phishing-Resistant FIDO2 MFA
The easiest way to introduce phishing-resistant MFA for your workforce is to use MFA with hardware and software FIDO2 passkeys. With Rublon, you can use passkeys as a second factor in your multi-factor authentication (MFA) logins, blending the strong security of FIDO2 authentication with the ease and convenience of password authentication. You can also go Passwordless MFA with Windows Hello.
Users can enroll a FIDO2 passkey and use it as their MFA method. Alternative FIDO options include enrolling a WebAuthn/U2F Security Key and YubiKey OTP.
Many organizations ask about the difference between software and hardware passkeys. Understanding this difference helps enterprises pick solutions that balance convenience, cost, and security. Rublon MFA supports both software and hardware passkeys.
