Solving the Password Management Paradox Defining the Problem and Reviewing the Four Best-Known Solutions Many companies struggle with password management and password security. This paper discusses the paradox of strong password policies, and evaluates several possible solutions.

Organizations need to protect their data and restrict access to enterprise resources to authorized users. Many companies attempt to address their security concerns by simply implementing stronger password policies, requiring employees to remember more and stronger passwords for all applications.

Ideally a company could require employees to remember and properly use many secure passwords resulting in optimal security. In reality, after a certain point, as the number and strength of required passwords increase, security begins to decrease as employees take short cuts with their passwords. Requiring too many strong passwords actually has an inverse effect on corporate security - The Password Management Paradox.

This paper reviews the challenge of password management and security, discusses the paradox of strong password policies, evaluates several possible solutions, and recommends a password management solution that is cost effective and easy to implement.
