Kind of related, but slightly off-topic, I would estimate that at least 20% of my work day is spent authenticating or re-authenticating to various services and accounts, in addition to password management. Constant and aggressive timeouts, MFA, dealing with highly-layered and convoluted security schemes, VPNs, multiple certificates, multiple independent accounts, etc. SSO is a thing of the past and it has become the “sludge” of the IT world.
Not offering a solution, just complaining.
- nine_k 4y agoPartly this is the price of defense in depth, so that a compromise of one account does not affect other accounts. Partly it's poor ergonomics: a password manager should fill in the credentials for you, and 2FA could be a one-touch token. I wonder what industry are you in with such intense security requirements.
