Go Ahead, Forget That Password

Choosing a password that isn't easy to discover is critical and new password reset technology enables employees to choose appropriate passwords and securely reset them should they be forgotten.

FOLSOM, Calif. -- A self-service password reset solution allows government employees to securely and easily reset their forgotten passwords, set new passwords and unlock their accounts without any intervention.

The technology allows employees to choose passwords that are difficult for intruders to discover without the problem of having to rustle the IT department when forgetting a password. The latest version of Avatier's Password Station.NET includes challenge/response question and answer authentication, which confirms the user's identity prior to allowing them to reset, unlock or set their password and is actually more accountable and secure than having the employee call for help.

Administrators and end-users are alerted proactively of potential password break-ins through the system. The system allows agencies to enforce strong password security policies while giving end-users the ability to find out why weak passwords are not passing the grade -- all through a Web browser.
