Re: Secure communication of passwords

UTK's Office of Information Technology wrote a similar solution for our campus that authenticates to LDAP 
(https://vault.utk.edu) and allows registrations by email address for non-affiliated users. It has been a significant 
asset for us.

Subject: [SECURITY] Secure communication of passwords

On occasion we need to communicate a password (with a possible username) with a user. This is generally for some 
external system that doesn't integrate into existing authentication mechanisms. Per our policy, we can't send the 
password via email and it shouldn't be written down. We generally try to communicate it via a phone call if possible, 
with a text message to a verified number as a backup. Unfortunately neither of these are convenient, so I wondered what 
others are using for this task.
