They are related, but they are not interchangeable.</p> <p>That distinction matters. A company can &ldquo;enable MFA&rdquo; and still be vulnerable to phishing. A sign-in flow can be &ldquo;passwordless&rdquo; and still rely on an email account that becomes the real weak point. A passkey can be very strong, but the surrounding account recovery, device enrollment, and exception process can still create risk.</p>
