Specops uReset lifts the burden from the IT service desk by enabling end users to address common tasks related to password management including forgotten passwords, locked out Active Directory accounts, and password resets and changes. The solution goes beyond the traditional identity verification methods, and revolutionizes self-service with flexible authentication prior to resets. With a powerful multi-factor authentication engine, uReset ensures that users always have a secure way to reset their password, from any location, device, or browser.
Enrolling with uReset is simple. Guide users to their enrollment using configurable reminders and notifications. To guarantee adoption, use the pre-enrollment options (3rd party ID services like Okta or Duo, AD attributes and more) to register users before roll out. If you are using uReset with any other Specops Authentication products, you can extend user enrollments to secure service desk assisted password resets and encryption key recovery. Additionally, if you are using Specops uReset with Specops Password Policy (with Breached Password Protection validation) users will not be allowed to select a weak password during the password creation process.
uReset enhances login security by extending multi-factor authentication to self-service password reset. There are 20+ identity services available to ensure that you can select the best options for your users.
However, since not all identity services are equally secure, administrators can assign each identity service a trust value, based on their perceived level of security.
The trust assignment is managed via stars, as shown in the administrator view to the right.
Specops uReset uses a dynamic and customizable password policy rules display to guide users with real-time feedback as they are typing in their new password.
This allows users to self-correct before submitting the new password and ultimately reduce calls to the service desk.
uReset customers using Specops Password Policy can also display length-based password aging and compromised password check feedback
