How a Single SQL Flaw Can Bypass 2FA and Compromise Your Security

We’re told two-factor authentication is the ultimate security shield. Password stolen? No problem. The hacker doesn’t have your phone. Game over… right? In this episode of TechDaily.ai, David and Sophia unpack a chilling real-world scenario that shows how 2FA can be completely bypassed without touching the victim’s device. Through the story of an artist named Sally, her customer Jane, and an ethical hacker named Kim, we follow a step-by-step breakdown of how a single database flaw can unravel an entire security system. You’ll hear how: A simple SQL injection opens the door to user data Weak password hashing lets attackers crack credentials in milliseconds Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) actually work under the hood Shared secret keys are the real prize, not the phone itself Authenticator apps can be cloned with nothing more than a copied string Poor storage practices turn 2FA into a false sense of security The episode also lays out what should have been done differently: How parameterized queries stop injection attacks cold Why encrypting 2FA secrets at rest is the bare minimum When to use dedicated secrets managers instead of your main database Why slow password hashing algorithms like Argon2 and bcrypt matter Whether you’re a developer building authentication systems or a user trusting your digital life to passwords and apps, this conversation will change how you think about security. The tools used in this attack aren’t exotic or advanced. They’re the same ones sitting on your phone right now.
