Adding MFA was supposed to end account takeover. Attackers adapted. The uncomfortable truth is that most MFA in use today — SMS codes, authenticator OTPs, push approvals — is still phishable, because the second factor travels over a channel the attacker can intercept or the user can be tricked into approving.
Phishing-resistant MFA closes that gap by binding the login to hardware, so there is no code to steal and no prompt to fat-finger.
Why your current MFA is still phishable
SMS codes get SIM-swapped and typed into look-alike login pages. Authenticator OTPs are read off the screen and entered on the same fake page seconds later. Push notifications get spammed until a tired employee taps “approve” — the attack now has a name, MFA fatigue.
The common thread: a shared secret (a code) or a blind approval travels between the user and the service, and anything in the middle can capture or coerce it.
What “phishing-resistant” actually requires
A factor is phishing-resistant only when it is cryptographically bound to the real website and the real device — so a credential captured on a fake page is useless. In practice that means public-key authentication (FIDO2 / WebAuthn), where the device signs a challenge with a private key that never leaves its hardware.
CyberCyko’s passwordless MFA makes the device the factor: a biometric unlocks a hardware key that signs a one-time challenge. There is nothing to read, type, or approve — and nothing an attacker can replay.
Immune to the attacks that beat OTP and push
Because the signature is bound to the origin and the enrolled device, the classic attacks fail by design: SIM-swap gets nothing (no SMS), OTP-relay gets nothing (no code in transit), and push-fatigue gets nothing (there is no blind “approve” button — only a biometric on the right device).
It is also faster than typing a password plus a code, which is why enterprise passkeys and hardware-bound sign-in win on user experience as well as security.
Rolling it out without ripping things up
Phishing-resistant MFA does not require replacing your identity provider. CyberCyko layers in front of your existing SSO and applications, so you strengthen the factor without a forklift migration — and you keep verifying every request, not just the first login.
