Free EditionPassword reset tickets are the bane of both IT teams and end users. When the number of password reset tickets increases, IT teams often push more critical issues down the queue so users don't have to put their work on hold for too long while their passwords are reset. When left unchecked, password reset tickets can become quite expensive. Unsurprisingly, several large businesses have spent close to a million dollars resolving their password-related help desk calls.
ADSelfService Plus, an identity security solution with MFA, SSO, and self-service password management capabilities, can eliminate your IT team's password reset tickets by empowering your end users with self-service. Whether it's a forgotten Microsoft 365 or AD password, ADSelfService Plus enables users to reset their passwords on their own without IT assistance.
With the increasing adoption of cloud applications and BYOD policies, users are leveraging multiple access points aside from their workstations to complete their tasks. ADSelfService Plus enables users to perform self-service password resets and account unlocks regardless of their location.

ADSelfService Plus supports multiple user directories for self-service password reset, including: AD, Microsoft 365, OpenLDAP, AD LDS, Google Workspace, MS SQL, Salesforce, IBM AS400, HP UX, and Oracle DB.
ADSelfService Plus enables admins to trigger a preconfigured authentication workflow once users initiate a self-service password reset request. It offers 20 different authentication techniques including FIDO passkeys, biometrics, and YubiKey to authenticate users during self-service password reset and account unlock. Some users have access to sensitive business data, and if their accounts are hacked by an attacker, it can lead to disastrous consequences. To combat this, ADSelfService Plus offers admins the option to enforce authenticators of varying intensities for different types of users.
ADSelfService Plus' conditional access policies allow admins to set context-based rules or conditions to vary the intensity of the authentication process for self-service password reset. The authentication factors present to users are altered based on their IP address, time of request, device used, and geolocation. For example, if an AD self-service password reset request is received from an untrusted IP address outside of business hours, the user will be presented with more stringent authenticators for identity verification as configured.
ADSelfService Plus' Password Policy Enforcer provides stringent password policies that restrict the use of predictable patterns, dictionary words, and repeated characters in newly created passwords. Also, by integrating ADSelfService Plus with Have I been Pwned, a breached password database, you can block weak and compromised passwords from your organization. This way, you can defend against multiple password-based cyberattacks, including brute-force, credential stuffing, and dictionary attacks.
ADSelfService Plus allows users to reset their passwords securely from anywhere, at any time. This means that they can perform a remote self-service password reset even when they are not connected to the organization's network. ADSelfService Plus' cached credentials update feature then updates their locally cached credentials with the newly reset password, ensuring uninterrupted user productivity and reduced IT workload.
ADSelfService Plus supports many authentication factors to secure password self-service, such as:

Before users can take advantage of password self-service using ADSelfService Plus, they must be fully enrolled in MFA. To make the enrollment process smooth for both IT administrators and end users, ADSelfService Plus allows you to:
Notify users to enroll in MFA via email and push notifications.
Force users to enroll when they log in to their machines with a persistent pop-up dialogue box.
Utilize users' existing AD information for enrollment.
Automatically enroll users by importing necessary enrollment data from an external database or using CSV files.

Self-service password reset empowers users to reset their own passwords after successfully verifying their identity without help desk assistance.
Self-service password reset is safer than a password reset performed by an IT administrator because the former ensures that only the user knows their newly reset password. The latter not only causes the IT admin to unnecessarily know a user's password, but it also exposes the password to attacks as it is transmitted over the network to the user.
In self-service password reset, users are verified with strong authentication factors, which adds to the security of the process.
Implementing self-service password reset drastically reduces the burden on the IT help desk, saves costs incurred due to password reset tickets, and enhances organizational security.
ADSelfService Plus is a self-service password reset tool that helps users reset their own AD passwords without IT assistance. Using ADSelfService Plus, users can easily reset their passwords either from a web portal, their logon screens, or their mobile devices.
To reset your password using ADSelfService Plus, go to ADSelfService Plus' password reset web portal, your machine's login screen, or the mobile app, and complete the required identity verification steps to reset your domain password.
