mfa-implementation

mfa-implementation is a skill for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to multi-factor authentication (MFA), which asks users for at least two different kinds of proof of identity, such as a password and a security key. It compares common methods and their risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose MFA methods, integrate them into an application, prevent bypasses, and review phishing-resistant login options.
Why use it?
It helps prevent account takeover when a password is stolen, while highlighting weaknesses such as phishing, SIM swapping, and biometric bypasses.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mfa-implementation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MFA Implementation

MFA methods, integration patterns, bypass prevention, and phishing-resistant authentication.

Knowledge Base

MFA Factor Categories

Authentication factors fall into three categories (something you know, have, are):

Category Examples Strength Attack Vectors
Knowledge (something you know) Password, PIN, security questions Weakest alone Phishing, credential stuffing, brute force, social engineering
Possession (something you have) TOTP app, hardware key, phone, smart card Strong Theft, SIM swap (SMS), real-time phishing relay
Inherence (something you are) Fingerprint, face recognition, voice Strong (local) Biometric spoofing, coercion, liveness detection bypass

True MFA requires factors from at least two different categories. Password + security questions is NOT MFA (both are knowledge). Password + TOTP IS MFA (knowledge + possession).

MFA Method Comparison

Method Phishing Resistant User Experience Implementation Complexity Cost
FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware key, passkey) YES -- origin-bound Excellent (tap key or biometric) Medium $20-70/key
Passkeys (synced WebAuthn) YES -- origin-bound Excellent (biometric on device) Medium Free
TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy) No -- code can be phished in real-time Good Low Free
Push notification (Duo, MS Authenticator) Partial -- MFA fatigue attacks Good (approve/deny) Medium Per-user cost
SMS OTP No -- SIM swap, SS7 intercept Acceptable Low Per-SMS cost
Email OTP No -- email compromise = MFA bypass Acceptable Low Free

NIST Authenticator Assurance Levels (AAL)

Level Requirements Use Case
AAL1 Single factor (password alone acceptable) Low-sensitivity systems
AAL2 Multi-factor required. Software or hardware authenticator. Most enterprise applications
AAL3 Multi-factor with hardware cryptographic authenticator (FIDO2). Verifier impersonation resistance required. High-security: financial, healthcare, government

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mfa-implementation is a skill published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 2,609 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
