5 MFA Myths SMBs Believe

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a game-changer for small and medium businesses (SMBs), but misconceptions often hold owners back. At MFA Experts, we’re here to set the record straight. Here are five myths—and the truths—to help you secure your business.

Myth 1: MFA Is Too Expensive

Truth: MFA doesn’t have to break the bank. Solutions like Duo or Yubico keys start at $3-$6 per user/month, and our consulting keeps setup costs low. Compare that to the $150K average ransomware cost for SMBs—it’s a no-brainer.

Myth 2: It’s Too Complicated

Truth: Modern MFA is user-friendly. With our help, your team can set up phone-based or biometric logins in days, not weeks. We simplify the tech so you don’t need an IT army.

Myth 3: Passwords Are Enough

Truth: Passwords alone fail 80% of the time against phishing (Verizon 2023 DBIR). MFA adds a second layer—like a text code or app—that stops attackers cold.

Myth 4: Only Big Companies Need It

Truth: SMBs are prime targets—43% of cyberattacks hit them (Accenture 2023). MFA isn’t a luxury; it’s essential for any business with sensitive data or remote workers.

Myth 5: It Slows Down Work

Truth: After a quick setup, MFA blends into daily routines. Most users adapt in a week, and the peace of mind outweighs any minor delay.
