4TRESS Kerberos Agent eliminates the need for a user to enter his/her Windows(R) password in addition to a one-time password (OTP) during the authentication process. By removing the need for users to know their Windows password the organization has strengthened the security of its network access by moving from single factor authentication (Windows(R) password only) to a multifactor authentication (authentication device + PIN).
