Password Reset and Synchronization Service
Drive-down help desk costs and keep users productive
Fischer’s IaaS® Password Reset and Synchronization Service cuts your password-reset and help desk costs while keeping users productive by allowing them to quickly reset their forgotten passwords. You can strengthen security by automatically enforcing password policies while reducing the number of passwords to remember.
Problem: Many organizations struggle to balance the high cost of resetting forgotten passwords and securing their IT assets by requiring sufficiently-strong password policies. The problem is often compounded by policies that force users to periodically change their passwords, as some users resort to writing their passwords in non-secure locations, sometimes even within plain sight. Yet clamping down too tightly can mean lost productivity and even lost sales as workers impatiently wait for the help desk or administrators to reset their passwords.
Solution: The Password Reset and Synchronization Service delivers a comprehensive set of password-management capabilities including password self-service, policy enforcement and password synchronization. Users can reset their forgotten passwords without contacting the helpdesk, either by responding to a configurable set of challenge-and-response questions, or by authenticating with their credentials for a registered user account on another connected system.
