Ephemeral provisioning systems reduce the risk of unchecked, long-lived rights by granting higher-level capabilities for a limited period. Leaving accounts perpetually active or relying on a shared repository does not address the exposure from continuous privileged access. Centralizing login flows streamlines sign-on but does not enforce short-term usage of stronger credentials.
