'In fact, our researchers were forced to omit a large number of popular websites from our testing simply because the sites don't provide any straightforward or easily accessible information about their 2FA offerings. 'Through the course of our research we found that information on 2FA is often presented in a way that is unclear, making it difficult for consumers to confirm 2FA offerings,' said Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane. Four of the websites tested offered no 2FA options at all: Best Buy, NextDoor, TaskRabbit, and ZocDoc. Of the 34 sites Dashlane examined, only 8 (24%) received a passing score: Bank of America, Dropbox, E*TRADE, Facebook, Google, Stripe, Twitter, and Wells Fargo. Any site that scored below 5/5 was deemed to be failing as they do not offer their users a full range of 2FA options. The rankings, which examined the prevalence of 2FA offerings among 34 top consumer websites in the United States, found that 76% of sites do not offer users a full set of 2FA options.ĭashlane researchers tested each website on three critical 2FA criteria, awarding one point for SMS or email authentication, one point for software tokens, and three points for hardware tokens, such as YubiKey or U2F authentication, for a maximum and passing score of 5/5.
