The proliferation of telecommuting, mobile sales forces, portals, and remote access requirements have made the use of and importance of strong passwords even more important. With critical company data available to anyone over a VPN or firewall that has the right username/password combination, many companies have begun to require stronger passwords, and force users to reset passwords at set time intervals. These users have responded by putting their passwords on post-its and affixing them to their monitors, sharing passwords with other employees, or hiding them under their keyboards, which serves to undo the strong data security that was the aim of the stricter password policies in the first place.
To help protect data, some companies are implementing two-factor authentication.
