What does Trusted Authentication help users to avoid when accessing Tableau?

Trusted Authentication is a method implemented within Tableau Server that streamlines the user experience by allowing users to access resources without the need to repeatedly sign in. When leveraging Trusted Authentication, once a user is authenticated by an external service, they can gain access to Tableau resources without the need to input credentials multiple times during a session.

This approach is particularly beneficial in scenarios where users might navigate between different Tableau applications or instances of the server, as it enhances efficiency and user satisfaction by eliminating redundant login prompts.

The other options, while related to access and security in various ways, do not highlight the primary function of Trusted Authentication. For example, logging in without credentials suggests bypassing security entirely, which is not the intent of Trusted Authentication. Instead, it relies on previously established credentials. Accessing data without an internet connection and performing two-factor authentication are also separate concepts that do not pertain directly to the purpose of Trusted Authentication in simplifying the sign-in process.
