Some Organizations No Longer Use Single Sign on Authentication

As organizations have become more aware of security issues and concerns, they have changed the ways employees are allowed to access information. Some organizations have done away with single sign on authentication. Passwords can no longer be simple words, but now often need to contain at least on capital letter, numbers and even a special character. Organizations often will require that users have different user IDs and passwords and cannot use the same ID or password for multiple applications.

You Can Still Use a Single Sign On by Adding Two Factor Authentication

As a result of security changes and access information, employees may often be vocal. A complaint you might experience in your workplace is the number of different user IDs and passwords required just to get computer up and running. In order to cut down on the number of different user IDs and passwords required, your organization could look at different options. One option which still allows you to use a single sign on, but also includes a second level of security is two factor authentication.
