According to the following article, it’s time to take passwords seriously!
Whilst this article may be open to some debate, there is no denying that passwords should be given the attention they deserve, and where the risk demands, solutions for strong authentication should be deployed.
With the availability of the self-service password reset functionality in the upcoming release of Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010, and with Single Sign-On solutions from Passlogix, we can help you take passwords seriously.
FIM’s self-service password reset allows you to deploy complex passwords without the worry of users increasing the helpdesk workload when they forget them. In addition FIM can help synchronize credentials and extend the service in to a complete Identity and Access Management platform. You can start with passwords and security, and extend to automated provisioning, group and distribution list management and workflow, all through one self-service portal. What could be easier than that?
And if your users have too many passwords, and using a single set of credentials is not an option, then look at solutions for Single Sign-On. By implementing a secure main authentication with a password bank to handle all your subsequent authentications, life could be very much easier and secure.
