Self Password Policy

Enhance Security with Self Password Policy of SSO1

With SSO1, the admin can easily use the self password policy to enable the employees to reset their password by themselves. In case, the password is forgotten or has to be changed for security reasons, then there is no need to take anyone’s help.

Reduces Flaws to Increase Productivity

It is very common to forget your password and contacting the IT team every time to wish to reset it, which is a big waste of time for both. The self password feature of SSO1 covers it very effectively, keeping things very simple and highly secure at the same time. This is done considering the fact that hackers try to gain access using loopholes of password resetting. For this, the admin has to set the security questions and not the user, who often chooses easy-to-guess questions.
