How can you prevent password reuse and sharing?
Totally agree with Simon. Passwords love them or hate them will still be with us for some time to come. Implement MFA where you can, train your users, switch to using passphrases instead of passwords and encourage better behaviour through training. If you want to have better password rules, block breach passwords and continuously scan you users current passwords for breaches in your AD and Hybrid AD environments, feel free to get in touch with me and I can show you both free and paid tools that can help you achieve that.
