Your Employees Want Passwordless. Isn't It Time You Gave It to Them?

I hate passwords. There, I said it. I dread getting an email from Akamai IT telling me it will soon be time to update my password. I procrastinate until the last possible moment instead of immediately doing what is actually a trivial process. I suspect I'm not alone in my dislike for passwords. T...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-31924

Yubico pam-u2f before 1.1.1 has a logic issue that, depending on the pam-u2f configuration and the application used, could lead to a local PIN bypass. This issue does not allow user presence touch or cryptographic signature verification to be bypassed, so an attacker would still need to physicall...

CVE-2021-31924

Affected software: Yubico pam-u2f (PAM module for FIDO2/U2F) prior to version 1.1.1. Root cause: A logic issue in pam-u2f could bypass a PIN requirement when configured to require PIN and the application allows NULL as the PIN; pam-u2f then proceeds with FIDO2 authentication without PIN. This byp...

CVE-2020-27208

The flash read-out protection RDP level is not enforced during the device initialization phase of the SoloKeys Solo 4.0.0 & Somu and the Nitrokey FIDO2 token. This allows an adversary to downgrade the RDP level and access secrets such as private ECC keys from SRAM via the debug interface...

Beyond MFA: Rethinking the Authentication Key

You have to hand it to the cyber-thieves: They have proven extremely adept at defeating security measures once thought reliable. Case in point: multifactor authentication MFA. While two-factor authentication 2FA using push text notifications has become the de-facto standard for login security, ba...

GitHub Prepares to Move Beyond Passwords

GitHub, the ubiquitous host for software development and version control and unfortunate target of a steady pitter-patter of attacks targeting the same, is now supporting security keys when using Git over SSH. In a post on Monday, GitHub security engineer Kevin Jones said that this is the next st...

How to enable Facebook’s hardware key authentication for iOS and Android

Since 2017 desktop users have had the opportunity to use physical security keys to log in to their Facebook accounts. Now iOS and Android users have the same option too. Physical security keys are a more secure option for two-factor authentication 2FA than SMS which is vulnerable to SIM swap...

Phish-Proof Multi-Factor Authentication with Akamai MFA

Today, Akamai announced Akamai MFA, a phish-proof multi-factor authentication MFA service for the workforce that delivers all of the security benefits of FIDO2 with the frictionless end-user experience of a mobile push on a smartphone. Why has Akamai introduced this new service? When an employee...
