Authentication
Security built on static, reusable passwords is easy to hack. Instead, use two-factor authentication, to ensure that users are who they claim to be.
Two-factor authentication requires 2 pieces of identification to login.It s based on something you know (a password or a PIN) and something you have (like a token). A token is a physical device, similar to an identification card, that contains a certificate of authenticity. The certificate can be generated by an internal Microsoft Certificate Authority and placed on the token by the administrator. For even greater security, a time-based algorithm within the device generates the certificate. This time-based algorithm is synchronized with the authentication server.
Leading multi-factor authentication solutions include management systems that provide centralized, and simplified password management.
