Good Afternoon, On a related topic to the recent password discussion, our current account lockout policy is getting a lot of attention. As the number of our always-on, always-connected devices continues to grow - desktop, laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc. So grows our number of users that get locked out during password changes. As our users change their password, it never fails that at least one of these many devices will continue to authenticate with the old password and, as you guessed, lock out their account. Are any of you experiencing similar problems? How are you addressing account lockouts? Andy Rivers Senior Security Analyst, Office of Information Technology Information Security Office
