Better password resets for end users and IT teams
Gartner found 40% of all help desk calls to the service desk are related to passwords – and Forrester estimate each reset costs $70. Why not ditch the hassle without impacting end user experience? Specops uReset lets your end users easily and securely reset their own passwords. You can also reduce the time and cost burden on service desks and IT teams by taking away the headache of managing endless password recoveries and resets.
-
Ideal for hybrid and remote teams
- Remote users can change expired or forgotten passwords from the Windows logon screen and get back to work sooner
- Prevents hard to troubleshoot service desk calls by updating the local cached credentials, even when a Domain Controller cannot be reached and the user is off VPN
- Fewer password reset calls means more IT team time for other tasks and lower service desk costs
-
Flexible MFA options
- Allows users to verify their identity via third-party identity providers including: Duo Security, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Okta, PingID, Symantec VIP, and Yubikey
- Multiple authentication options guarantee users will complete the password-reset task, even if an identity provider is unavailable
- IT teams can enforce user ID verification by blocking service desk staff from resetting passwords, and other sensitive actions, until they complete the end-user ID verification step
-
Simple auto-enrollment and enforcement
- Admins can automatically enroll users to the password reset system via any identity provider that has identifier information in Active Directory
- Alternatively, admins can guide users to the enrollment process via notifications, including emails, balloon tip pop-ups, or a full-screen browser when the user logs in to Windows
- uReset also offers various reports to help you keep track of your enrollment progress
-
Secure new hire passwords
- With the First Day Password addon, IT staff never have to share a first day password with a new hire ever again
- New employees verify who they are via mobile code or personal email ahead of setting their first password
- IT staff can automatically share a link to set their first password via text or email or direct employees to click “reset password” at the logon screen

MFA can be the crucial layer preventing a breach,…
