It's 2025—Why Are Banks Still Getting Authentication So Wrong? 13 May, 2025 While recently traveling to the U.S., I was completely locked out of my TD Personal Banking account.

Boris Zhitkov/Gatty Images You are one data breach away from your entire online life being turned upside down. The problem is our reliance on passwords, which are hopelessly fragile ways to secure valuable resources. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by believing that creating a longer, more complex, harder-to-guess password will somehow make you safer online.

Gmail users will soon see a big change in the way their accounts are secured and how their two-factor authenticated logins are handled. Google is planning to stop sending 2FA codes via text message to verify Gmail accounts in favor of security tools such as passkeys and QR codes that users would scan with their devices.
