Password Expiry Alert Agent

The work it takes off your plate

Managing password expirations manually can lead to security vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. Users often forget to update their passwords on time, resulting in potential breaches and increased IT support requests. This agent automates notifications, reducing manual effort and enhancing overall security.

How it works

The Password Expiry Alert Agent securely ingests identity records, password policy rules, and recent notification activity to calculate each user's expiration date and reminder schedule. It identifies accounts approaching expiry, excludes users who have already updated their credentials, and prioritizes alerts according to risk and policy thresholds. The agent generates personalized messages containing the deadline and approved password-reset instructions, then sends them through configured email or SMS channels. Delivery, bounce, and response events are recorded for auditability. Users who remain unresolved receive follow-up reminders, while security and service desk teams receive compliance summaries and escalations for overdue accounts.
