March 10, 2026 • Diego Matute

If you’ve ever tried to implement MFA for Windows and walked away frustrated, you’re not alone. Clunky deployments, end users calling the helpdesk every five minutes, solutions that only protect some logins, and the gut-punch realization that your MFA can be bypassed the moment your internet connection drops.  These aren’t edge cases, they’re alarmingly common.
