Authentication: How Users Sign On
Authentication refers to the way users sign on.
If possible, administrators should implement Single Sign-on (SSO).
SSO reduces the number of passwords the users must remember. It can also be used to enable multi-factor login, which is when users are asked to provide some verification in addition to their passwords, like a code that they receive via text or email.
