Infographic: Passwords Are Far from Dead – The Increasing Need for SSO

From Avatier

Rumors of the death of the password have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, passwords have become more important than ever with the proliferation of remote workers and today’s digital workforce. Despite predictions about biometrics, token-based encryption, and other authentication strategies, using secure passwords will be the most common means of protecting digital assets.

What does have to change is users’ cavalier approach to password security. Continuing to use one password for everything or using your birthday or mother’s maiden name for authentication is just asking for hackers to steal sensitive data. You can’t change user behavior, but you can make password access more secure. Secure single sign-on solutions like Avatier SSO help organizations add security to password authentication.
