Integrate Advanced Authentication and Authorization Technologies to Support Enterprise Objectives
Although passwords have functioned as the primary means of authentication for many years, they are not sufficient to deal with many of the issues that CASP+s face today. Passwords have problems with reputability; there’s also the issue that if passwords are too complex, people tend to write them down. Given a choice, many users will pick easy-to-remember passwords.
