Password reset is the process of updating or restoring a user's password to regain access to an account or system when the original password is forgotten, expired, or compromised. This process typically involves verifying the user's identity through methods such as email verification, security questions, or multi-factor authentication before allowing them to create a new password.
Password resets are a critical component of account management and cybersecurity, ensuring users can securely regain access without exposing sensitive systems to unauthorized access. In Privileged Access Management (PAM), password reset features play a vital role in maintaining the security of privileged accounts by automating password changes, minimizing downtime, and enforcing compliance with security policies.
By streamlining the password reset process, organizations can improve user experience, reduce IT helpdesk workloads, and safeguard sensitive data from potential breaches caused by compromised or outdated passwords.
