Weakness (CWE)

CWE-308: Use of Single-factor Authentication

Base Draft

The product uses an authentication algorithm that uses a single factor (e.g., a password) in a security context that should require more than one factor.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)

  1. Architecture and Design

    Use multiple independent authentication schemes, which ensures that -- if one of the methods is compromised -- the system itself is still likely safe from compromise. For this reason, if multiple schemes are possible, they should be implemented and required -- especially if they are easy to use.
