The Password Management Toolkit is a combination of Bamboo's four most popular administrative tools:

Password Change Web Part: Allow users to change their own passwords while automatically adhering to your security policy.

Password Expiration Web Part: Notify users through email notifications and/or display notifications through a Web Part when account password is approaching expiration.

Password Reset Web Part: Safely allow SharePoint users to reset their password through various forms ID verification.

User Account Setup Web Part: Simultaneously create a new account in the defined authentication provider and add that account to SharePoint while adhering to the security policies.

Combining these powerful self-service administrative Web Parts and the step-by-step guide to creating an effective password management solution, users will be able to manage their own passwords faster.

If you host SharePoint sites for multiple clients, the Password Management Toolkit can save you a significant amount of time by allowing you to designate a User Administrator at the client site as a point of contact for managing their own users and passwords. Since you can restrict where users are created in Active Directory, which users who can create users, and which SharePoint groups the new user can be assigned to, you won't have to worry about an on-site User Administrator or end-user gaining access to other SharePoint applications or private resources on your network.

If you are a SharePoint solution consultant who creates proposals for and manages multiple custom SharePoint solutions, offering your customers the time-saving, cost-effective features of "self-service" user account creation and password management shows that you are concerned about your client's time and well-informed on the latest technology available to best meet your client's needs.

Network Administrators for small, medium and large companies who manage a SharePoint portal for their entire company also benefit from the Password Management Toolkit. For users who need to manage their own SharePoint site on your portal, just set up a separate Active Directory organizational unit specifically for these users and configure the User Account Setup Web Part to create users only in that organizational unit as well as restrict who can create users and which SharePoint groups to which they can assign new users. Then set up Password Change and Password Reset to allow these users to manage their own passwords.
