We use eTrust and the users create their own passwords with controls for
password complexity of course.

Subject: Changing user password policy

Hi list!

I was wondering your toughts in changing users password in an
enterprise firm, with 10k users.
It has to be easy for the user to get a new password, but also secure!
The users also have to be verified over the phone.
Make the users go somewhere and show ID to get a new password will not work.

Soo, what is your toughts about a good solution to this?


In front thanks
  Lars
