How many keyboards in your enterprise are hiding yellow sticky notes bearing any number of different user names and passwords?
Passwords are a well needed evil in any company to secure access to systems and applications. As much as users may complain about having to remember several passwords in order to have access to the resources necessary to do their jobs, and as much as companies may complain about the wasted resources help desks relinquish doing password resets.

Enterprises often balk at the cost and interoperability issues that accompany available alternatives like tokens, smart cards and biometrics.

Now, instead of having to remember any number of passwords, specific policies for each of those passwords, and rules about changing them periodically, users are identified by their fingerprints and granted access once via a single sign-on technology to all the necessary applications and systems required to do their jobs.
