Boosting login security with more than just passwords

The increasing sophistication of cyber threats has rendered traditional password-based security measures insufficient, prompting the need for enhanced login security practices. As fraudsters employ techniques like brute-force attacks, phishing, and credential stuffing, businesses must adopt multi-layered defenses, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), CAPTCHA challenges, device analysis, and limiting login attempts. However, these measures can often impede user experience, leading to potential financial losses due to abandoned transactions. Tools like Fingerprint offer a balance by employing device intelligence and Smart Signals to improve security without complicating the user interface, allowing for seamless recognition of legitimate users while identifying suspicious logins. This approach helps maintain user trust and protects the brand’s reputation by ensuring strong security measures are in place without deterring users with cumbersome verification processes.
