How to choose
Which directory does it need to support?
Start with directory support and directory writeback. Writeback means sending a password change back to the directory, so check that the tool supports the directory your organization uses and the changes it needs to make.
How should users verify their identity?
Compare the verification methods a tool supports with the methods your users can access. If users may need to reset a multi-factor authentication (MFA) method as well as a password, check for MFA reset support.
Which reset channels should it offer?
Choose reset channels that users can reach when they are locked out. Compare the available channels alongside verification methods, since users need a workable way to prove their identity before resetting access.
Which user platforms does it support?
Check that users can reach the service on the platforms they rely on. The board compares web, Windows, Android, iOS, Linux and API support.
Does it have a free plan or trial?
Compare free-plan availability, trial availability and the paid starting price. For example, Auth0 Guardian has a free plan and a listed paid price from $35 per month; ARKSSPR lists pricing on request and a 30-day trial.
Questions
What does self-service password reset software do?
It lets users reset their own passwords rather than relying on an administrator to handle each reset.
What should I compare in password reset software?
Compare free plan, paid starting price, verification methods, directory support, reset channels, directory writeback, MFA reset support and user platforms.
What does directory writeback mean?
It means sending a password change back to the directory, rather than changing access in the reset service alone.
Can self-service password reset software reset MFA too?
Some tools support MFA resets. Check the MFA reset support field if users may need to regain access to a second verification method.
Which platforms can password reset tools run on?
The board compares web, Windows, Android, iOS, Linux and API support. Check the platforms users need before choosing.
Is there free password reset software?
Free plans and trials are available for some options. Compare the plan details and paid starting prices before deciding.
