Overview
The existing Password Reset feature allows Users to reset their password based on security questions and randomly generated codes that can be sent (via text) to their phone. It also allows Users to combine security questions and codes for even greater security. The Enhanced Password Reset mApp Solution offers additional functionality, which creates a randomly generated security code that can be e-mailed to an alternate e-mail address. The additional strength can be used to assign the characters in the password a strength value based on the character type, length of password, and combination of characters. As the User types a desired password, a colored meter shows the strength of the password. CSM integrates with Enhanced Password Reset so that you can strengthen your password security system. For more information, see About Customer Portals.
How the mApp Solution Works
CSM provides the Enhanced Password Reset V1.0a functionality as a mApp Solution so that Users can easily incorporate password strength automation into their existing CSM system. Download the mApp Solution from the Cherwell mApp Exchange. Use the Apply mApp wizard to apply the mApp Solution to your CSM system. The Apply mApp wizard generates a Blueprint, which can then be viewed and published to a test or Live system to commit the changes.
