Generating Account Passwords Automatically

If Generate functionality is configured on your system, IdentityIQ can generate new account passwords. This functionality is only available when changing passwords for others.

  1. On the Identity Details > Passwords page, select the checkboxes next to the appropriate accounts or use the checkbox in the header to select all accounts.

  2. Select Generate at the top right side of the page. Because the system generates the password, there is no prompt for new password entry.

  3. If you are generating passwords for more than one account, select:

    • Synchronize Password for All to generate a new single password for all the selected accounts.

    • Or Individual Passwords for All to generate a new password for all the selected accounts.

  4. Select Submit.

  5. Note the new password(s), then select Ok.

The option to generate passwords for the selected accounts can be turned on or off from gear > Lifecycle Manager > Configure > Manage Password Options. Select or clear the checkbox option for Enable password auto-generation in requesting for others.

Note: If you click the Home button, exit the IdentityIQ application, or navigate away from the manage access pages before you complete all tasks, your entries are cleared and the access request is NOT submitted.
