What are some of the common best practices currently being used in large
enterprise environments to handle password resets while reducing the risk
of exposure to social engineering exploits?  Assuming that not everyone has
voicemail, that the password being reset is required to access your e-mail
account, or that the management of a prearranged return call list results
in significant administrative overhead; what are some other alternatives
currently being used?
