Why You Still Need MFA - Even If You’re Using a Password Manager

What Is MFA, Exactly?

Multi-Factor Authentication is a security method that requires users to provide two or more pieces of verification before they can access an account or system.

That might include:

• Something you know (a password)
• Something you have (a smartphone or hardware token)
• Something you are (a fingerprint or face scan)

The most common example? Entering your password, then receiving a code on your phone or approving a push notification.

Why Passwords Alone Aren’t Enough

Even if you use a password manager — and everyone on your team has a strong, unique password for every account — there are still risks:

• Phishing attacks can trick employees into entering their password into fake login pages.
• Data breaches from third-party services may expose passwords, even if they’re stored securely.
• Keyloggers or malware can capture login credentials without you knowing.

Once a hacker has your password, they’re in — unless MFA is enabled.

MFA: Your Safety Net

Here’s what makes MFA so powerful: Even if someone does steal or guess your password, they still can’t log in without the second factor.

It’s one of the most effective ways to block unauthorized access. In fact, Microsoft reports that MFA can prevent over 99% of common cyberattacks.

Think of MFA as locking your front door and setting the alarm — it’s that extra barrier that makes a real difference.

Why Small Businesses Are Targeted

Many small businesses assume they’re too small to be on a hacker’s radar. Unfortunately, attackers often go after smaller companies precisely because they expect you don’t have strong protections in place.

MFA is low-cost, easy to set up, and highly effective — which makes it one of the smartest security upgrades you can make today.
