Martin Brinkmann over at ghacks.net brings us info on Windows 10 security changes:
The company started to open up only recently and reveal additional information about Windows 10. It published a lengthy blog post today on the Windows For Your Business blog that details security improvements coming to the operating system.
Aimed at business and enterprise customers, it provides insight for consumers as well.
One of the changes discussed in the blog post is how Microsoft plans to change how users identify themselves on the system. Microsoft plans to eliminate single-factor authentication systems such as user/password log ins by building improved protection right into the operating system.

For example, if somebody contacts me and tells me they need access to a system that I control, I'm not just going to take their word on the fact ... Instead, I'm going to ask them some questions that help verify who they are, I may ask that they talk to me in person, and I'm going to check with a colleague who knows such things to determine whether they in fact should have access to the system. That's precisely because I don't trust them.
Really?
You's give them that much time? Are you crazy?
