New version of FastPass Password Manager Spells the End of ‘Lost my Password’ calls to Corporate Help-Desks

FastPass Password Manager 2.6 is the first product for managing user identities and passwords with full native integration to Active Directory and Microsoft’s Identity Integration Server – Also provides second factor strong authentication in compliance with Entrust IdentityGuard

FastPassCorp, the leading provider of self service identity and access management solutions for the enterprise, has launched release 2.6 of FastPass Password Manager, the leading password management solution for Active Directory FastPass Password Manager allows large corporate help-desks to minimize time spent on ‘lost password’-related hotline calls, potentially removing as much as a fifth of the Help Desk’s workload.

FastPass Password Manager is the first product for identity and password management which comes with full native integration to Active Directory and MIIS – Microsoft’s Identity and Access management platform tool. In addition, the new FastPass Password Manager incorporates a fully integrated Self Service interface to Entrust IdentityGuard strong authentication grid card tool, a Self Service User Account Self Claim tool for identity mapping across disparate vendor systems and an Active Directory group managed dynamic menu giving access to authorized users.

“FastPass Password Manager is a productivity tool for Active Directory. It is an essential utility for any IT administrator’s toolbox because it leverages the investments already made in Active Directory by many corporations," said Richard Blackham, CTO of FastPassCorp.

“By delivering the self service value to the desktop FastPass Password Manager makes the high availability workspace a reality for Information Workers and the return on investment may be significant. By exploiting our MIIS integration the return on investment may also be almost immediate," stated Richard Blackham.

Numerous surveys from independent analyst and research organisations have documented that manually administered password resets and synchronization contribute to the single-most expensive aspect of help desk support, and that end-user self-service password reset tools are generally considered one of the few information security products that can deliver immediate return on investment to the enterprise, mainly by reducing IT call centre costs.
