Self-service password reset (SSPR) and self-service account recovery (SSAR) are essential for reducing IT workload and empowering users. However, these solutions, if not implemented securely, can become an organization’s biggest security hole.

While SSPR and SSAR aim to solve this, traditional methods are often fundamentally broken, leaving organizations vulnerable to costly account takeovers.
