Easily streamline 2FA Target Scans with Probely’s DAST Solution

Two-factor authentication (2FA) enhances security by requiring an additional piece of evidence – an extra factor – to authenticate a user on a website or application.

The first factor is typically a password, known only to the user, referred to as the Knowledge Factor. However, passwords can be compromised.

By adding a second factor, such as a generated code that the user possesses, known as the Possession Factor, it adds an extra layer of security. This code changes over time, making it useless if intercepted, providing additional protection against unauthorized access.

Many online services, like banks and healthcare organizations, implement 2FA to protect user accounts from potential breaches.

While 2FA is highly recommended, it can complicate vulnerability scans due to the extra security layer.

Probely simplifies the process of scanning targets with 2FA without compromising security measures.

With Probely, setting up and conducting scans on targets protected by 2FA is straightforward. You can configure the possession factor using either Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) or Alternative OTP methods.

Time-based One-time Password (TOTP)

This method involves using an authenticator like Google Authenticator to provide a random code that changes periodically, known as Time-based One-time Password (TOTP).

Alternative OTP (Other OTP)

This method sends a random code through a communication channel like email or text message, known as a One-time Password (OTP).

After configuring, run your target scans without being blocked by 2FA. Probely simplifies the scanning process to identify vulnerabilities in your website or application.

Scanning websites and applications with 2FA is made easier with Probely, ensuring a user-friendly experience and enhanced security practices.
