These days, the scope of a huge number of web, desktop, IoT, cloud and mobile applications being compromised is rapidly increasing. The attackers exploit weak authentication techniques to compromise government, educational, financial, and healthcare systems to access sensitive information. Authentication failure is very serious according to Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) organization. This organization has ranked authentication failure among the top ten risks in the world in 2021 and 2023. In this study, we discuss the authentication technologies in terms of advantages, disadvantages, and drawbacks of some common authentication methods. We provide a comprehensive comparison table between several types of authentication techniques. Furthermore, we provide important recommendations for the future direction. Additionally, we provide a list of crucial factors for decision-makers to consider when selecting the appropriate authentication type. This research serves to raise awareness about the dangers of vulnerable authentication, benefiting users, companies, and researchers.
