As SharePoint adoption within the company continues to grow, the audience that SharePoint is catering to expands from a single department of internal employees to corporation wide and even including outside contractors. With any account, there is times where users need to change their password, whether that is because their password is about to expire, or just because the user can never remember their current password and 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. With a complete password management solution, corporations can add another essential layer of security to their growing and often confidential SharePoint environments. Now IT Administrators can enforce a full fledge password policy, including routine password expiration without the fear of overhead costs to maintain. With the Bamboo Password Management Toolkit, users get the power of not just Password Change Web Part, but also Password Expiration Web Part and Password Reset Web Part.
