As SharePoint adoption within the company continues to grow, the audience to whom SharePoint caters expands from a single department of internal employees to corporation-wide, and even includes outside contractors. With any account, there are times when users need to change their password, whether their password is about to expire, they have forgotten it, or just because they want to use a more familiar combination.

Unfortunately, SharePoint does not provide this capability out-of-the-box. Yes, it is true that your on-site employees can use their Windows machine connected to the domain to change their password, but what about your external employees and contractors? That is where Password Change Web Part comes in. After a quick Wizard-based installation, simply add the Bamboo Password Change Web Part to the page, and it is immediately ready to go!

Password Change Web Part is just part of a larger story, a true password management solution called Password Management Toolkit. With a complete password management solution, corporations can add another essential layer of security to their growing and often confidential SharePoint environments by allowing IT administrators to enforce a full-fledged password policy, including routine password expiration without the fear of overhead costs to maintain. With the Bamboo Password Management Toolkit, you not only get Bamboo's top-selling administrator products: Password Change Web Part, Password Expiration Web Part, Password Reset Web Part, and User Account Setup Web Part at a 30% discount, but also Premium Annual Support, giving you additional access to world-class Bamboo support and free major upgrades for all four included products.
