Authentication lol!

With the many forms of authentication, administrators and information technology professionals must select
what will be the best for them. While maintaining security, administrators must meet the security needs of their
organization and the convenience of end users. Productivity can be hindered by too much security and ‘loose’ security
can put assets at risk. Laughing
