10 Warning Signs Your Current Authentication Stack Is a Breach Waiting to Happen

This blog post presents a checklist of ten warning signs that an authentication stack may be vulnerable—covering short passwords, SMS-only MFA, lack of breached-password checks, missing bot detection and rate limiting, plaintext PII, long-lived or non-rotating session tokens, absent device risk signals, high help-desk reset volume, and inability to revoke sessions—and provides quick diagnostics and concrete fixes (e.g., enforce longer passwords or passkeys, use TOTP/FIDO2, integrate breach checks, implement bot protection and rate limiting, encrypt/tokenize PII, rotate and centrally revoke sessions, and adopt risk-based authentication).
