How to reduce password changes by using GateKeeper.

Prevent password changes.

GateKeeper Proximity allows users to log on to their computers using their GateKeeper Token (Halberd token, or Trident phone app) instead of having to manually type in their username and password. This password-free login allows administrators the option of setting complex passwords for their users' accounts while relieving the users of the burden to remember the login passwords by allowing them to log in with their GateKeeper token. Thus, GateKeeper serves as a mechanism to increase the security of computer login credentials, while at the same time making the workflow easy for the end users to log in.

Key Advantages of Managing Login Credentials with GateKeeper Proximity

• Users no longer need to remember their login passwords.

• Administrators can enforce highly complex passwords, reducing the security risks associated with weak credentials.

• Password reset requests are eliminated, as users don’t need to know or remember their passwords.

• Shared logins become significantly more secure by allowing complex passwords to be set for shared accounts. Users access these accounts using their GateKeeper token, without needing to know the shared password.

• Password change policies—such as 60-day expirations—can be relaxed, in line with NIST recommendations, since passwords are unknown to users and can be randomly generated and assigned via Active Directory.

• If periodic password resets are still required by your AD policy, the GateKeeper Hub’s AD Management page allows you to reset passwords in Active Directory and automatically update them for GateKeeper users.
