Gizmodo recently wrote an article which referenced a research paper published by Microsoft which states that billions of dollars every year are lost in productivity. Lots of firms have an IT policy to change your password after a certain time period. If you think about it, it makes sense... if your forced to change your password every month in a company of 1,000 employees or more, how many of those people are gonna be knocking on the IT director's door asking him to reset their password? Not a lot but enough where productivity will drop.
A great solution to overcome this would be to utilize RSA two factor authentication where the password is literally changed automatically by the RSA token device. Tthe user only needs the RSA key fob to remember the password. No more password memorization. Therefore, IT departments would never need an internal policy for the user to change their password, only carry an RSA token. If interested in learning more about RSA, feel free to give us a call.
