Hello all,

do you know how commercial solutions on password reset are usually licensed?

I would suppose they are based on the number of potential users

commercial solution?

Thanks,
Rodrigo.

Challenge Response also works well when there is no network
 connectivity. It is very powerful and NO secret data is exchanged
 during the recovery process. But the software has to support it.
