Answer options

• A. Certificates
• B. Single sign-on
• C. One-time passwords
• D. Federation
• E. Multifactor authentication
• F. Hardware tokens

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers, Certificates and Single sign-on, support the need for customers to use their own identity stores and reduce the frequency of credential requests across different applications. Other options, such as One-time passwords and Multifactor authentication, do not address the requirement for identity store flexibility or the need for seamless access across applications.
