An essential feature to protect company portals comes back to the basics—login security. With Active Directory Services, IT administrators can create complex password rules, including elements of password length and complexity, and minimum and maximum password age. Maximum password age is by far one of the most important rules. This requires users to change their password after a defined set of days, providing a complete password security package. Unfortunately, SharePoint does not provide any warning system to notify users when their password is about to expire. That is why Bamboo built the Password Expiration Web Part, giving SharePoint Administrators and users not only one, but two means of notification to help guarantee action.

Password Expiration 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, 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.
