The problem it solves

Employees forget their passwords are about to expire until they're suddenly locked out, which means a call to IT and lost work time. Chasing down who's affected and reminding them manually isn't something your team has time for.

Who it fits

An IT administrator managing a company that uses Active Directory.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a schedule
  2. Checks each employee's password age against their group's policy
  3. Identifies anyone approaching their expiration date
  4. Calculates exactly when each person's password will expire
  5. Sends a reminder email to each affected employee
What you get

Employees who reset passwords before lockout

Employees get an email reminder before their password expires so they can reset it in time.

What you get

Automatic email reminders to employees before their passwords expire.

What you need

An Active Directory environment with fine-grained password policies and an email account for sending notices.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
