Hello?
which IQ does your editors have so they can't remember one global account
like (firm-name/firm-phone), which they have to enter once(!) (*) they
start to controll their input?


(*) you can change logintime to one day, so the default-value of 30 minutes
won't even kick them over lunchtime, as the can't shutdown their computer
because it is to difficult to login a second time that day.
