Automate password reset requests for faster resolutions

Empower employees to set passwords automatically without human intervention on Atomicwork.

Manual password resets cost your IT team close to $85K/year

Leaving the cost aside, imagine how much manual effort goes into sending a password reset link multiple times. That means a huge productivity loss for employees putting these requests and IT teams resolving them.

Excessive cost

For large enterprises with expanded teams, password requests are often too high. This means more than one member of the IT team resolving these issues. The total cost of lost hours can be as high as $85K/year.

Added agent workload

Let's face it: Resetting passwords is a mundane and boring chore for your IT support team. They could be handling more meaningful activities instead of this time-consuming task. Similarly, employees too witness a loss in productivity, waiting for their turns to get new passwords.

Longer end user wait times

If your password reset workflow is entirely manual, it involves multiple steps, such as making the request, sending a link, manually changing the password, and sharing it with the employees. These steps take time to complete and delay service delivery.

End-to-end password reset automation with Atomicwork

Atomicwork converts your manual, long password reset process to an automated, self-service process without any involvement of human agents. Employees can reset passwords on their own anytime and anywhere.

Effortless password resets on and offsite

Atomicwork’s AI assistant Atom helps employees initiate password resets with simple workflows. Your end users can raise their password reset issue over common collaboration platforms like Slack or MS Teams via Atom. Atom verifies an employee's identity in physical or remote workplaces and guides them through the next steps to reset their password independently, avoiding any back-and-forth between the IT team and employees.

Things are simple for your IT support team at the backend too. No extensive workflows need to be set up. All the above steps can be executed one after the other by just enabling or turning on the relevant AI-based Atom skill with a single click.

Enable security checks for safe password resets

Atom can trigger authentication workflows after an employee requests a password reset. There are different identity verification tests, including requesting for the end user's birth date to cross verify with existing records or connecting to the multi-factor authentication set up of identity management platforms like Azure Active Directory.

This feature ensures that password reset access is not provided to an external user or hacker, and internal tools and resources are only shared with relevant team members.

Notify users about password expirations

Organizations must prioritize creating a password expiration policy to protect their intellectual properties. Atom shares timely reminders to notify employees when their passwords expire. These notifications help employees reset their passwords well in advance to avoid delays and missed project timelines later.

Our journey with Atomicwork to transition our ticketing systems to their AI-based Microsoft Teams Interface has been remarkable. The product has transformed how we manage our IT and business workflows, offering a seamless enterprise integration to meet our needs efficiently.
