Users are expected to change their passwords on a more frequent basis, to something more complex. This often leads to lost or forgotten passwords and places a huge burden on the IT help-desk; the bigger the organisation, the greater the burden.
By introducing a self-service, two-factor authentication process the user takes responsibility for the process without having to involve the helpdesk. Users are able to to reset their password following a two-factor authentication process that combines a pre-enrolled secret question alongside their authentication device of choice. Authentication options include:
Once authentication is complete, the user is asked to enter a new password that complies with the organisations password regulations. SecurPassword then resets the password in real-time. Many organisations are experiencing a rapid return on their investment with some seeing a 100% reduction in helpdesk requests to reset passwords
