IntigritiThis approach is considerably much more secure as an additional layer of security prevents bad actors from gaining unauthorized access to someone's user account. Below, we will be exploring several methods on how to exploit 2FA vulnerabilities and take advantage of any present logic flaws in their insecure implementations. The impact of a 2FA bypass should never be neglected, and we always recommend testing for them, especially on targets with critical assets or applications that store sensitiv....
