Manage passwords in cache
Summary
Applications that authenticate offline must only store one password in the authentication cache.
Description
Applications that limit the authentication cache to store only one password per user adds a security control that is useful to mitigate risks, such as unauthorized access if the local cache is compromised. The design of this caching mechanism ensures that only the most recent and valid set of credentials is stored.
