Explanation

The security goals for remote access are: reliable authentication of users and systems (A), protection of confidential data in transit (B), and manageable access control (C). Automated login (D) is the opposite of a security goal - it bypasses authentication entirely, which undermines the foundational principle of verifying identity before granting access. Automating login removes the human verification step and introduces significant risk of unauthorized access.
