Ransomware, phishing, and credential-based attacks are hitting small and midsize businesses every day because attackers have learned the easiest trick in the book. They do not need to hack in. They simply log in with stolen credentials. The moment an employee enters a password or approves a code, the attacker has everything.
Most small IT teams believe they are protected because they deployed SMS codes or authenticator apps. But these are the very tools attackers now target. They are the honeypot. Relay kits steal MFA in real time. Spoofed login pages look perfect. Help desk impersonation takes minutes. A single tired user can give an attacker full access without realizing it.
The only real fix is to eliminate passwords entirely and stop using user-dependent MFA. And here is the good news. You do not need an enterprise budget to do it. A Token biometric device that lasts 5 years costs only 13 cents per day per employee. That thirteen cents gives you real passwordless security with a biometric and proximity-based authenticator that simply cannot be phished, spoofed, relayed, or socially engineered. Your fingerprint becomes the login. Nothing else works.
And in reality, you save far more than you spend. Password-based login is slow. Employees type usernames, passwords, PINs, and then deal with MFA codes and prompts. Each login burns about ten to fifteen seconds of productivity. Multiply that by 20 logins per day, and you lose 3 to 5 minutes of employee time every single day. That waste costs about $2.78 per average US employee per day. A wireless biometric Token device eliminates all of it with one instant 2-second authentication.
So the economics are simple. For thirteen cents a day (or actually $2.60/day of productivity gain!), you eliminate the number one cause of breaches. At the same time, you save more than two dollars per employee per day in recovered productivity. You get stronger security and lower costs at the same time. Passwords cost you time, money, and risk. Token removes all three.
Small IT teams do not need more monitoring or more training. They need to stop attackers at the front door. Thirteen cents a day does exactly that. Your employees log in faster. Your systems become unphishable. Your credentials become worthless to attackers. And your business becomes far safer than most enterprises.
Passwords are the problem. Token is the fix. This is the moment to switch.
