There are two parts of the answer here:

1. Since notebook 4.3, users without a password set are automatically
secured by a randomly generated token to mitigate this risk. It's not
strictly enforced - you can still configure it to use no security - but
it's more secure by default. So upgrading your users to any version since
4.3 should improve matters easily.

2. If you're running a central, multi-user Jupyter installation, you should
look at JupyterHub (http://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ), which is
designed for precisely this use case. It can integrate with system logins
for authentication, or with institutional single-sign on systems.

Best wishes,
Thomas
