Question:

Shurrell is concerned that users on his network have too many passwords to remember and might write down their passwords, therefore creating a significant security risk. Which of the following would be most helpful in mitigating this issue?

A SSO.
explanation

Single Sign-On (SSO) is designed specifically to address this risk and would be the most helpful. Users have only a single login to remember; thus, they have no need to write down the password. OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open standard for token-based authentication and authorization on the Internet. It does not eliminate the use or need for multiple passwords. Multi-factor authentication helps prevent risks due to lost passwords but does not remove the need for multiple passwords by itself. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) do not stop users from needing to remember multiple passwords.
