Posted on 13 November 2015 by ldpainter

Without a doubt, in the last decade Apple Mac computers are becoming popular amongst consumers, especially amongst the millennials and businesses. A reason to this is the sublime styling and the intuitive, secure and powerful operating system offered by Mac. This also means that an increasing number of businesses are now preferring to use an Apple Mac computer. Of course, more users means more passwords being set on individual devices and thus resultantly, the number of requests for Active Directory password resets has increased dramatically.

Apple Mac Password Self-Service Solutions

If a Mac user has forgotten a password, cannot access their computer and do not have a password reset tool, they would have to send a request for a password reset or an account unlock to the IT department. An alternative option would be to use a dedicated kiosk system, both routes of password reset means a loss of productivity and the significant demand for additional IT staff members to only focus on resetting forgotten passwords. This just didn’t mean employing IT knowledgeable staff members but to invest in expensive equipment that would serve the purpose of resetting passwords.

Hypersocket Access Manager takes into consideration the diversification of the consumer market and is alert on the rapid expansion and growth of technology. Thus, Access Manager is constantly being upgraded to suite all business requirements. Hypersocket Access Manager allows Mac users the ability to manage their own passwords and accounts all from a self-service web portal.
