We all know the problem whether as just plain users, or more importantly as IT professionals. In an age where user authentication/identity has become the new perimeter for keeping enterprises safe from the mischief of bad actors, the front line of defense is managing and securing passwords.
Since passwords are literally the gateway to our ability to do anything with computers and online resources, the problem is that to be safe and secure best practices dictate that we change our passwords frequently. This is a headache for us to come up with easy to remember but not easily compromised passwords and for IT to keep on top of in terms of validating us. In addition, single sign on has been the goal for increasing ease of use, which is then layered with various types of multi-factor authentication and various types of encryption to protect data at rest and on the fly once our credentials have been established that we are who we say we are.
