Safety
Risk impact

Akamai MFA for Firefox requires a lot of risky permissions and is not safe to use. Avoid installing this add-on unless you absolutely trust this publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Akamai MFA for Firefox is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.

User reviews
Doesn't work with Google while Krypton did. The "Learn More" link in the extension description leads to a 404. Things don't look promising now that Akamai has taken this over.

Cannot pair with android if both are behind vpn, after pairing it all works over vpn but google account.

It works but on the site a free trial period is mentioned? So it only works for 60 days? This is a bit confusing...
