Editing Security token (section)

=== Single sign-on software tokens ===
Some types of [[single sign-on]] (SSO) solutions, like [[enterprise single sign-on]], use the token to store software that allows for seamless authentication and password filling. As the passwords are stored on the token, users need not remember their passwords and therefore can select more secure passwords, or have more secure passwords assigned. Usually most tokens store a cryptographic hash of the password so that if the token is compromised, the password is still protected.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-01-15 |title=2.3.3: Authentication Methods - Security Tokens |url=https://eng.libretexts.org/Courses/Delta_College/Information_Security/02:_Authenticate_and_Identify/2.3:_Authentication_Methods_-_Password/2.3.3:_Authentication_Methods_-_Security_Tokens |access-date=2024-11-21 |website=Engineering LibreTexts |language=en}}</ref>
