New research ranks organizations based on whether they offer two-factor authentication.
While more organizations are adding multifactor authentication for user security, new research shows that, among 34 large US consumer websites, 76% fail to offer full two-factor authentication (2FA) options.

Of the websites tested, only four — Best Buy, NextDoor, TaskRabbit, and ZocDoc — didn't offer any 2FA capabilities. At the other end of the scale, eight websites — Bank of America, Dropbox, E-Trade, Facebook, Google, Stripe, Twitter, and Wells Fargo — received full marks.
