Session
Quite often, we go to the effort of backing up our documents and photos, but have you ever considered what you would do if your phone decided to pack up one day?
From a security perspective, in this day and age, our mobile phones have become even more important than our main devices (PCs, laptops), with our passkeys, MFA, etc., stored on them.
So it begs the question, how redundant are our MFA implementations and is this something we should perhaps pay a little more attention to?
In this talk, we explore why we need MFA redundancy, what MFA redundancy looks like, and how we should go about implementing it.
