Explanation

Modern database systems support multiple authentication methods including Windows Integrated Authentication, certificate-based authentication, and external providers. These allow users to authenticate without passwords.

AI explanation

Not every user account requires or has a password. Guest or anonymous accounts, biometric-only authentication, single sign-on / federated identity, and modern passwordless login schemes are all common real-world exceptions. Because the statement uses the absolute word 'always', a single counter-example is enough to make it false.
