How many times have we all seen the password expiration pop-up on our Active Directory workstation and have simply ignored it? We’ve all been there; resetting a soon-to-expire password almost always feels like tomorrow’s problem. But that, in itself, is the real problem with expiring or expired passwords. Expiring passwords don’t seem like much of a problem until the help desk gets flooded with password service calls for these expired passwords.
The only way users will take action is if they’re constantly reminded about their soon-to-expire passwords. However, with the amount that most administrators already have on their plates, tracking these passwords and sending repeated reminders is practically impossible. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a tool that could automatically do all this for you? Look no further! ManageEngine Password Expiration Reminder tool is your ally! What’s more? It’s completely free to use.
