Lets say you have a user that:

1) forgot their password
2) forgot their answers to their secret question(s)
3) is traveling making visiting the helpdesk impossible

Lets also say asking for last four digits of SSN is
not allowed.

How do you authenticate the identity of the user and
allow them to change their password?
