Why you need hardware-backed two-factor authentication in combination with a password manager

Many individuals and businesses have implemented password managers to combat the inherent challenges of memorizing dozens of complex passwords, ensuring that passwords aren’t reused across multiple applications. This drives higher authentication security and a better user experience, but can still put individuals and businesses at risk of a security breach if strong two-factor authentication (2FA) for password managers isn’t implemented.

Data shows poor password related security hygiene in the workplace

Poor password related security hygiene is rampant in the workplace. Yet despite being aware of this problem, many IT departments still have not taken any corrective actions:

  • 50% of IT respondents and 39% of individual users reuse passwords across workplace accounts.
  • 59% of IT security respondents report that their organization relies on human memory to manage passwords.
  • Less than half (46%) of IT professionals require the use of 2FA to gain access to corporate accounts.
  • Data via the Ponemon 2020 State of Password and Authentication Security Behaviors Report

Data shows that smaller teams are at high risk for cybercrime

Businesses with smaller teams have been increasingly targeted by hackers and cybercriminals in recent years. Money, time, and data loss were listed as the top three areas of impact by companies who suffered a hack:

  • 50% of IT respondents and 39% of individual users reuse passwords across workplace accounts.
  • 59% of IT security respondents report that their organization relies on human memory to manage passwords.
  • Less than half (46%) of IT professionals require the use of 2FA to gain access to corporate accounts.
  • Data via the Underserved and Unprepared: The State of SMB Cyber Security in 2019 Report

Leaving the security of your private and/or business assets to the fallibility of human memory is a losing strategy. Basic, formulaic, and recycled passwords are easily exploited and may lead to monetary and legal consequences. Additionally, passwords when forgotten, can eat up time and IT resources.

The solution: YubiKey + password manager

The solution for individuals and businesses is to use a password manager in combination with the strongest form of two-factor authentication available: The YubiKey.

Using a password manager application is the best way to create and maintain unique and strong passwords for all your account logins, and protecting your password manager with a YubiKey is the most secure way to manage multiple digital credentials. Using a YubiKey for 2FA with your password manager ensures that even if your master password is compromised, the rest of your passwords are still secure.
