What is ADSelfService Plus?

Forgotten passwords and locked accounts have become a part of corporate grind for most IT employees.

The challenge: Forgotten passwords and locked accounts

How many times have you faced the "Incorrect username or password. Please contact your administrator" message while logging into your computer? We've all faced this issue and it's a pain. Every time you forget your password, you need to call your IT service desk and wait for them to reset your password, while it costs you 30 minutes of your work day.

Wouldn't it be great if you could simply reset the password of your computer, all on your own, just like how you reset it for your social media, banking, and other online accounts?

The solution: Password self-service

ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus is an integrated Active Directory (AD) self-service password management and single sign-on (SSO) solution for on-premises and cloud applications.

Using ADSelfService Plus, you can securely reset forgotten passwords, unlock accounts, update your contact information, and subscribe or unsubscribe from mail groups on your own without requiring help desk assistance. This solution also offers SSO capabilties that enables you to access all your enterprise applications in one click. No more password fatigue or having to enter your credentials every time you want to access an application. All you need to do is log in once into the ADSelfService Plus portal and proceed to access all your enterprise accounts without having to enter a password.

ADSelfService Plus's Android and iOS mobile apps lets you reset password and unlock account from anywhere, at any time. You can also reset the password or unlock account from the login screen of your Windows, macOS, or Linux computers using the "Reset Password/Unlock Account" link placed in the login screen.
