Phishing and credential theft are still major concerns in the world of cybersecurity, with passwords and weak multi-factor authentication (MFA) being the leading cause of security breaches. According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, the global average cost of a data breach for a company is a staggering $4.35 million! This is where 0pass comes in to save the day.

Founded by Noah Stanford, Marcello Salvati, and Michael Melone, 0pass is a startup that has developed a solution to address the problem of passwords and weak multi-factor authentication. Traditional login methods, such as passwords, push notifications, and SMS-based 2FA, have proven to be vulnerable to phishing attacks, making it easy for attackers to steal sensitive information.

0pass offers a phishing-resistant solution by replacing traditional login methods with more secure and convenient methods like Windows Hello, TouchID, FaceID, and Yubikeys. These methods are based on biometrics or physical tokens, making it much more difficult for attackers to access sensitive information.

One of the key benefits of 0pass is its versatility, it can be used across a wide range of devices and operating systems, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and remote. With this flexibility, businesses and individuals can ensure the same level of security and ease of use, regardless of their device.

With 0pass, businesses can effectively safeguard their login processes, meet the highest cyber insurance and compliance standards, and bid farewell to the constant threat of phishing attacks. The effectiveness of this type of authentication is evident in the many companies that have adopted it, majority of which have implemented the use of physical security keys for employee access to company accounts. These implementations have resulted in a significant reduction in phishing attempts on employee accounts.

At 0pass, they are actively working with customers to implement and improve their solution - stopping attackers in their tracks, helping businesses and individuals protect themselves against the ever-present threat of phishing and credential theft.
