Standard logins require a user name (often the active directory username) and a static password which even if complex can be beaten by hackers within minutes.

To truly achieve a sufficiently complex password we would recommend using Two Factor Authentication or Strong Mutual Authentication as this will fulfil the Access Control requirement and part of the mobile working requirement together.
