MFA Fatigue Is Real: Move Privileged Users to Phishing-Resistant Auth

Push-bombing defeats weak MFA. Privileged and remote-access users need FIDO2 or equivalent phishing-resistant methods.

Attackers defeat SMS and prompt-based MFA with fatigue attacks and real-time phishing proxies. Organizations that roll MFA once and stop still leave privileged paths exposed.

Upgrade the accounts attackers want most

Move administrators, VPN/remote access, and finance approvers to phishing-resistant authenticators. Keep fallback methods tightly controlled and audited. User experience improves when passkeys replace constant push prompts.

Track coverage by role, not by license count—partial MFA is a false sense of safety.

Javan Informatics Group helps organizations turn these priorities into governed, operable programs—not one-off projects.
