In the beginning...
- Password management products mostly started out doing just
two simple things:
- Password synchronization.
- Self-service password reset.
- Integrations were relatively simple:
- Windows NT / Novell NetWare / Sun LDAP.
- Maybe a database or two.
- The user interface was simple:
- Web browser.
- Easy as 1 ... 2 ... 3:
- Sign in with a login ID.
- Type your password or answer a few questions.
- Choose a new password.
- This is so simple, any summer student could write one.
