The 99.9% Security Gap
Why Multi-Factor Authentication is Non-Negotiable in 2025
According to Microsoft, 99.9% of compromised accounts did not have MFA enabled (Microsoft Security). With the average cost of a data breach hitting $4.88 million (IBM 2024 Report), securing your team's shared access is no longer optional—it's a survival necessity.
99.9%
Attacks Blocked by MFA
Microsoft data confirms that simply enabling MFA prevents the vast majority of automated account takeovers.
81%
Hacking Involves Weak Passwords
Verizon DBIR reports that stolen or weak credentials remain the #1 hacking tactic used in breaches.
Mandatory
Google Cloud by 2025
Google has announced mandatory MFA for all Cloud users by the end of 2025, setting a new industry standard.
The Hidden Danger: Insecure TOTP Sharing
While the adoption of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is rising, with 87% of large organizations now requiring it (JumpCloud), a critical vulnerability remains: How teams share access to shared accounts.
Marketing agencies, IT support teams, and development squads often share access to corporate accounts (Twitter, AWS root, Registrars). The common practice? Taking a screenshot of the QR code and emailing it, or pasting the raw secret key into Slack. This practice defeats the purpose of MFA by creating a permanent, searchable record of the very key meant to secure the account.
The "QR Code Screenshot" Problem
When you email a QR code, that image lives in:
- Your "Sent" folder
- The recipient's "Inbox"
- The email provider's servers
- Any device that syncs that email account
If any of these endpoints are compromised, the attacker gains permanent ability to generate valid 2FA codes. They don't need to hack the account in real-time; they just need that static image.
The Cost of Inaction:
- • $4.88 Million: The average cost of a data breach in 2024/2025 (IBM).
- • 277 Days: The average time to identify and contain a breach. That's nearly 9 months of undetected access.
- • Small Business Risk: 60% of SMBs that suffer a data breach go out of business within 6 months.
The Secret Pusher Solution: Zero-Knowledge MFA Share
Secret Pusher's MFA Share introduces a secure, ephemeral way to distribute these keys. Instead of a permanent image, you generate a secure, self-destructing link.
Client-Side Encryption
The secret key is encrypted in your browser (AES-256) before it ever reaches our servers. We cannot see your TOTP secret.
Ephemeral Access
Links can be set to expire after one view or a short time window. Once used, the data is gone forever. No permanent logs.
Why It Matters for Compliance
For regulated industries (Healthcare, Finance, Gov), sharing credentials via unencrypted channels is a direct violation of compliance standards (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR). MFA Share ensures that the distribution of access tokens is audited, secure, and leaves no residual artifacts.
