Why use a self-service password reset?

  • Reduced Costs – Can reduce password management costs by up to 91%, saving your business not only time and money, but also freeing up expensive technical resources.
  • Improved Security – Allows users to reset their own passwords without the need to have them generated and then communicated via insecure methods such as email.

  • Compliance – Carefully controlling access to systems and data forms an integral part of regulatory and standards frameworks such as ISO-27001 and PCI-DSS.

How it works…

The server software is installed on existing server infrastructure and once configured:

  • End user connects to an automated self-help web page or selects “reset password” when logging into Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
  • User is two factor authenticated by prompting for their Pin and Passcode from their mobile phone
  • Optionally, the user can be prompted for secret information or existing information such as their employee number instead of a PIN
  • After authentication is complete, the user is prompted to enter a new Microsoft Windows password
  • Password is reset in Active Directory in real time
