Naven

Glossary

Two-factor authentication

Requiring a second proof beyond a password.

The factors are something you know, something you have, and something you are. SMS codes are the weakest common second factor — they are interceptable and vulnerable to SIM swapping — and an authenticator app or a hardware key is substantially stronger.

A passkey collapses the two factors into one step, since unlocking the device is the second factor.

Where Naven stands

Naven's code sign-in and passkeys both prove possession rather than knowledge, which is the property a second factor exists to add.
