Reward your employees in 2021 with a password solution that reduces password risks and helps them become more productive than waste time trying to think of their next great awesome password that will ultimately get stolen or cracked. </p> <p> </p> <p>Companies should demand multi-factor authentication by default and integrate it into privileged access management security solutions, as this breach shows the importance of not letting a password be your only security control.</p>
