Overcoming the Top 5 Obstacles to User Adoption of Strong Authentication

Overview:

In a recent survey, 70 percent of IT professionals acknowledged that user names and passwords do not provide an adequate level of security. Regulatory guidelines such as PCI, FFIEC, HIPAA, and GLB are echoing this perspective and requiring stronger authentication. So why do the majority of logins still occur without a second factor of authentication?

The reason is user resistance. Users hate security tokens, certificates are neither secure nor user-friendly, and, until now, there have been few alternatives.
