While passwords have long dominated the authentication discourse, employees hate passwords and single-factor authentication overall as it tends to result in easily stolen, forgotten, or lost credentials. Relatedly, employees both regular and privileged are still using some of the most basic and crackable passwords of all time, including \u201c12345.\u201d Whether lost or guessed, passwords can put your entire enterprise at risk\u2014especially if you employ single sign-on (SSO) and privileged identities.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This marked disdain for passwords parallels a deep trust for biometric authentication platforms across industries, enterprises, and customers. Surveys overwhelmingly find that employers and employees believe biometrics are a far more secure and convenient authentication factor than passwords. Most consumers and employees around the world are already comfortable using biometric authentication platforms. All mobile endpoints and smartphones are poised to accommodate fingerprint biometric capabilities within the next few years. The biometrics revolution is well underway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"iam-inject\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/biometric-authentication-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"Biometric Authentication Buyer's Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2019\/01\/biometric-authentication-speedbump-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Biometric Authentication Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/current-state-biometric-authentication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biometric authentication<\/a> platforms can help your enterprise foster multifactor authentication, SSO, and identity security, creating an overall stronger perimeter.
