SecurPassword from SecurEnvoy is the latest solution for Microsoft Windows Password Management. It provides a self-help password reset with mobile phone-based two-factor authentication. It enables Microsoft Windows domain users to reset their own password using mobile phones to create two-factor authentication. The solution supports any GSM or CDMA mobile phones. No software is required on the mobile phones and the passcodes are received within fraction of seconds.
The product claims to provide more than 80% savings on Windows Password resets through its self-service password reset process. This increases business productivity.
SecurPassword allows users to reset their Windows domain password using tokenless, two-factor authentication. With SecurPassword, a six-digit, one-time passcode is pre-loaded onto the user’s mobile phone via SMS. Pre-loading counters any SMS delays or intermittent signal problems.
Password resetting allows authorized users to quickly and securely change their own passwords, which eliminates the need for users to make a call to the help desk or reveal verification details over the phone.
Users who have forgotten their password simply enter their Windows logon ID into a dedicated web-site, Enter their PIN or answer a configurable security question and then enter the pre-loaded passcode from their phone. Once successfully authenticated the user can create a new password.
