Password Manager
Empower users, reduce support costs and strengthen security

Benefits

Overview• Reduces helpdesk and IT
involvement in routine
password management

Most requests for helpdesk assistance are for password resets. And asorganizations strive for stronger security policies, the pain of password
management is becoming more pervasive. Requiring more complex passwords
that must be changed more frequently increases the likelihood that users
will forget them and place a call to support. The problem is magnified asorganizations apply passwords to multiple, disparate systems and applications.
As a result, many organizations are caught between increasing security andreducing user support costs.

costs.
