As threats to password security have increased in recent years, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has rapidly gained adoption as a method for increasing the assurance of authentication for consumer and enterprise web and mobile applications.

In this guide, we review the results of a survey completed in partnership with IDG displaying your peers’ focus on strong authentication, security, and IAM. We highlight how to select the most secure MFA solution and policies for your organization. Finally, we provide further practical advice for building multi-factor authentication for applications, based on our observations working with engineering and product teams.
