Imagining a professional life without passwords
2020-12-18 05:00

Passwords are still used behind the scenes, but they are not entered manually during the login process, helping to minimize password related risks.

Employees are happy because they can access their business applications without having to enter additional passwords.

Once an employee is authenticated by the identity provider, the integration means that he or she is also authenticated with the service providers assigned to them - without having to enter a separate password.

As a result, the majority of IT and security professionals want to reduce the number of passwords that each employee uses every day.

While passwords will not disappear completely in the future, there is a clear need for solutions which combine passwordless authentication and password management, and ultimately eliminate the risks of poor password security habits.
