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 length of a password, complexity of the password, minimum password age 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 their password is about to expire. That is why Bamboo built the Password Expiration Web Part, providing SharePoint users' not 1 but 2 means of notifications to help guarantee action.

Password Expiration 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.
