Both IT teams and end users are afflicted by password reset tickets. IT teams will often push more urgent issues down the queue to ensure that users don't have their work put on hold while their passwords reset. Password reset tickets can be costly if they aren't addressed promptly. Nearly 30 percent of all help desk tickets were caused by forgotten passwords. It is not surprising that large companies have spent more than $1 million to resolve password-related help desk requests. It is a good habit to change passwords regularly, as it helps prevent cyberattacks caused by stolen credentials. Security experts recommend that administrators ensure that users change their passwords regularly and have password expiration policies in place.

Powertech Password Self Help for IBM i
Allowing users to independently reset their IBM i passwords significantly alleviates productivity hurdles for both individuals and IT support staff who usually handle these requests. This self-service approach means that users can bypass the help desk ticketing system for password resets, enabling IT personnel to focus on more pressing technical issues. Given that password resets can constitute up to half of all help desk inquiries, the resultant efficiency improvements can be substantial. To ensure user authenticity and thwart fraudulent reset attempts, it's essential to implement a set of challenge questions that users must answer correctly before a password reset can be granted. Additionally, it's important to configure the system settings in alignment with security policies, establishing clear guidelines regarding the minimum password length, the allowance of character repetition, and whether answers to security questions are case-sensitive. Furthermore, these measures not only enhance security but also empower users by giving them more control over their access credentials.
