Single sign on solutions don't work when some of the systems you sign on to are air-gapped and will never, ever, EVER be connected to any network. Other networks I access are completely separated from the greater internet. It would be useful, but single sign on would take my 25-30 passwords and shrink it to about 15.
Which would be useful but would still require me to keep track of them manually.

- engi_nerd 11y agoTry convincing the US government of that. I wish you luck (I really do). Trying to educate program security people on computers is one of the banes of my existence.
- ef4 11y agoPlenty of parts of the US government do know. I've seen multiple DoD networks where hardware tokens are the required form of authentication.
- engi_nerd 11y agoSo have I. CACs don't work on classified systems though.

- engi_nerd 11y agoThese don't work on all networks. Like classified networks.
