While security is paramount, user experience should not be overlooked. Next generation MFA solutions
must strike a balance between robust security and user convenience. Biometric wearable authentication
is an example of technology that provides high security without compromising user experience. As these
technologies continue to evolve, they will become more seamless and user-friendly.

Conclusion

Legacy MFA is indeed DOA in the face of today's sophisticated cyber threats. Every hour a major
ransomware attack occurs by hacking legacy MFA. Bad actors see it no more than a minor (and fun to
exploit) roadblock. The vulnerabilities inherent in traditional MFA methods necessitate a shift towards
more advanced, resilient authentication solutions. By adopting next generation MFA technologies,
organizations can better protect their digital assets, maintain user trust, and stay ahead of cybercriminals.
The future of MFA is here, and it's time to embrace it.
