Overview¶
In the modern day, authentication with only passwords shows increasing weaknesses: They are reused and often compromised. Instead, multifactor authentication together with web-based single sign-on (SSO) is deployed. Unfortunately, many applications are unable to implement such methods. A classic example is email, where the only reliably widespread login method is using a password.
The device passwords fill this gap: After signing in with SSO, users can create unique passwords for their devices to login to such systems.
