Akamai MFA: Secure Authentication with Your Phone as a Key
The Akamai MFA app for Chrome is the companion to the Akamai MFA mobile app for your smartphone. It allows you to use your phone as a security key authenticator with the Chrome browser. This free Chrome extension aims to make authentication easy and secure, eliminating the need for passwords or 6-digit codes.
With Akamai MFA, you can simply push to login, making the process convenient and efficient. Additionally, it provides protection against phishing attacks, ensuring that your authentication remains un-phishable.
The app utilizes the FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) and WebAuthn (FIDO2) protocols, which are standardized and secure. By following a simple 3-step process of downloading the Akamai MFA authenticator app, enabling the Chrome browser extension, and scanning the QR code, you can start using your phone as a secure authentication key.
One of the key benefits of Akamai MFA is its zero trust architecture. Your keys and login information never leave the app on your phone, ensuring maximum security and privacy.
