Users on Windows devices can manage updates to their 探花大神 passwords in various ways.
Prerequisites
- The device must be managed by 探花大神 through the Windows agent. For more information, see Understand the 探花大神 Agent.
- The device must be running a supported version of Windows. For more information, see Windows 探花大神 Agent Compatibility, System Requirements, and Impacts.
- Users can't manage passwords when their passwords are expired or they are locked out of their 探花大神 account. For more information, see Password Statuses.
Considerations
- If you have MFA enabled in your organization, your users will need to verify their identity using MFA before they can change their password. They can use Push MFA though the 探花大神 Protect app, TOTP MFA through either 探花大神 Protect or another authenticator, or use Duo. However, Duo is only available if it鈥檚 the only form of MFA available.
- Passwords changed locally using Ctrl+Alt+Del will update the Windows Credential Manager and the Data Protection API.
- User accounts managed by Active Directory using AD integration won't be able to use the Windows App to reset their password.
- A known issue exists for Windows 8, 8.1, and Server 2012: if a user is on a slow internet connection, they can click听颁补苍肠别濒听before they see the password change confirmation screen. In this case, the password change operation isn't stopped, but the user isn't notified of success or failure. This is a limitation of the previously mentioned Windows versions and can't be controlled by 探花大神.

Changing your Password in the 探花大神 Windows Tray App
The 探花大神 Windows App is the preferred method for user password changes on Windows devices. Below is an overview of the user process. For specific user instructions, see Users: Change Your Password in the Windows App. Note that when you change your password, any active sessions (User Portal, SSO applications, etc.) will be terminated.
The user flow:
- In the system tray, open the 探花大神 Windows App.
- To change the password, type in your previous password, followed by the new password twice for confirmation.
- If MFA is enabled for your 探花大神 account, you need to authenticate your account. Depending on the types of MFA enabled by your organization, you'll see one of two options:
- Push: Use the 探花大神 Protect app to verify your identity with a push notification. See 探花大神 Protect for End Users.
A cancel button displays on the logon screen while you are verifying your identity using Push MFA. Clicking this button has no effect on the push notification.
- TOTP: Enter a six-digit code from an authenticator app such as 探花大神 Protect or Google Authenticator.
The Duo app is also supported, but is only used when no other form of MFA has been enabled. If you are using duo as your only form of MFA verification, you will receive a notification on your device to verify your identity. See Use Duo Security with 探花大神 MFA.
- The new password is instantly synchronized with any other password stores.
- The Windows device agent then contacts 探花大神's credential management services through a secure Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection.
- The device agent synchronizes changes from the device to 探花大神 and all the resources 探花大神 manages. If you're using AD Sync, the password changes sync to Active Directory庐 as well.
- User accounts managed by Active Directory using AD integration won't be able to use the Windows App to reset their password.
- Leverage a toolkit of emails and help articles to communicate with your end users about the Windows Password Sync feature, how to use it, and other resources you may need to provide a user-friendly experience when going live with the Windows App.

To change your password using Ctrl+Alt+Del:
- Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then select Change Password.
- Enter your Old Password.
- Enter your New Password.

- If MFA is enabled for your 探花大神 account, you need to authenticate your account. Depending on the types of MFA enabled by your organization, you'll see one of two options:
- Push: Use the 探花大神 Protect app to verify your identity with a push notification.
A cancel button displays on the logon screen while you are verifying your identity using Push MFA. Clicking this button has no effect on the push notification.
- TOTP: Enter a six digit code from an authenticator app such as 探花大神 Protect or Google Authenticator.
The Duo app is also supported, but is only used when no other form of MFA has been enabled. If you are using duo as your only form of MFA verification, you will receive a notification on your device to verify your identity.
