One way used by businesses to alleviate the risks associated is password-based authentication (SSO). Stallings, for example, says that "SSO allows users to access all network resources with a single authentication." Users may sign up for the service, change their status or other information, and unregister from the system. It is possible to alter a person's position or affiliation to a function, business unit, or organization using the user profile. SSO requires users to remember fewer login credentials. The risk of password leakage and misuse is lowered since a single password is used to access all corporate-level internal systems. While using corporate single sign-on (SSO) software solutions, user credentials must be input many times in order to log in to target applications (Karie et al., 2020).  Because a username and password are often enough for SSO to work, the target applications do not need to be changed.

One of the suggested options is Microsoft 365. Employees may use Microsoft 365 services such as corporate email management, OneDrive access, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint capabilities, and Microsoft's Multifactor Authentication using their own devices. The goal is to develop a system that allows for multi-platform access across a broad variety of devices while limiting the risk of password abuse.
