Secure “Question-and-Answer” System - authenticates users through a series of private questions, known only to the user, such as a mother’s maiden name or the name of favorite sports team. This prevents unauthorized use by anyone who gains access to the computer.
Unlocks Accounts - When an account becomes locked out, the user clicks the “Logon Assistance” button right from the standard Windows logon prompt, answers the private questions and then unlocks the account.
Reset Passwords - Similar to resolving account lockouts, provides an easy way to reset forgotten local passwords. The same question‐and‐answer procedure is applied to authenticate the user.
Seamless Integration with Standard Windows Logon Prompt - extends the standard Windows logon dialog box (GINA) with a button to allow users access to product functionality at exactly the point where they experience the logon problems. This eliminates the need for public kiosks and phone‐based systems.
Prevents Unauthorized Use - prevents answer guessing attacks by limiting the number of failed attempts, making it impossible for unauthorized third parties to access sensitive information.
Ease of Deployment - uses your existing AD infrastructure and can be installed automatically on client machines using standard software distribution mechanisms like Group Policy and SMS.
Enforced Enrollment - ensures that users enroll and use the system to resolve their password‐related issues without calling the help desk, enforcing secure and centralized password management.
Password Manager is a simple and cost‐effective product that allows users to reset forgotten passwords, troubleshoot
account lockouts, and unlock their accounts, through integration with the standard Windows logon procedure
and a convenient, Web‐based, self‐service portal.
