One of my favorite sessions at #authenticate24 coincidentally involved two of my favorite people: Dean H. Saxe, CIDPRO and Pamela Dingle. I touched on this a few years ago, but they articulated this in far better fashion: why our current ways of thinking about authentication strength (the classic MFA trio) is outdated and...well...wrong. This photo is a perfect example: It is bit of an eye chart thanks to my delightful photography but in it is a dummy entry in 1Password that includes 4 mechanisms/secrets for authentication, but how many factors is it? Conventional wisdom would say the password + TOTP = 2, but they are both retrieved from the same device and even the same app & record. Needless to say, there is a healthy debate to be had on this subject. I highly recommend watching this talk once it is up. #MFA #2FA #identity #authentication
