Reduce Support Costs and Improve Productivity

With password reset and account lockout making up the highest number of tickets that help desk staff deal with, you can:

  • Reduce the calls to the IT help desk (and potentially reduce the required level of help desk staffing)
  • Minimize end-user downtime (and the associated loss of end-user productivity).

Password Self-service Wizard

Our simple wizard allows end users to reset their domain password, or to unlock their account, by themselves. After successful authentication, end users will quickly receive a new password via a method you specify in advance:

  • End users can immediately select a new password via the wizard
  • The wizard can send the end user a temporary password to a secondary email account or via SMS

Custom Notifications and Reports

After completing the Self-Service Reset Password wizard, an end user receives a notification containing their new password. Administrators also receive an email or SMS when an end user completes one of the Self-Service Password Reset wizards. You can even have a ticket created that shows the password reset activity – simply for your records and reporting purposes.

Identity Verification With Specialized Security Questions

Each end user enrolls in SysAid Password Reset by answering a selection of built-in or custom security questions. IT admins can control and customize the security questions, and mark specific questions as mandatory. Alternatively, you can also set it up whereby the user receives a one time code sent to their mobile phone.
