Here's a great post by Marcus Ranum on Gartner's recent pronouncements about two-factor authentication:

In other words, the title SANS gave this "NewsBite" is almost 100% wrong. Gartner (regardless of how they phrased it) identified not that 2 factor authentication isn't "strong enough" - it's rather more a case of "everything surrounding the 2 factor authentication is too weak"
