Here at the University of Massachusetts President's Office, we've implemented the mypassword product from Namescape and it's worked out really well. Simple and efficient, link is below. http://www.namescape.com/Products/myPassword.aspx Thanks, [cid:ACAA172E-25A8-40BB-AC71-0740EE869631] :: Kevin Lisciotti, Senior Systems Specialist, RHCE, RHCSA :: University Information Technology Services (UITS) :: University of Massachusetts President's Office :: 774-455-7761 Office :: 774-455-7733 Fax :: klisciotti () umassp edu<mailto:klisciotti () umassp edu> University of Massachusetts : 333 South St. : Suite 400 : Shrewsbury, MA 01545 : www.massachusetts.edu<http://www.massachusetts.edu/> MICHAEL<mschalip () CNM EDU<mailto:mschalip () CNM EDU>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>> Date: Friday, July 5, 2013 3:06 PM To: "SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>" <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>> Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Passphrases v Password We *have* a 15 character requirement – for both students and employees – for the past 4-5 years, and they are just now considering rolling the students back to 8 characters. The impact related to Service Desk calls for password resets has been off the charts, so we’re hoping that backing this off will help a little bit. But –we also need a better “self-service utility” to help with password resets. We’re currently using the “built-in” utility that’s in Banner’s Luminus 4 product – it works, but not well – and we’d like to use a password reset utility that offers the user “options”, (ie, secret questions, secondary e-mail with link, texting, etc.) Anyone using a utility that they are just crazy about?? Please share…. Thanks, Michael
