FastReset: voice
powered, self-service
password reset.
Enables organizations up to 99%+ self-service
rate for password reset – no IT helpdesk needed.
Resetting passwords through the
IT helpdesk is a tedious and costly
process. Yet standard self-service
password reset solutions typically
fail to deliver on promised results as
they rely on users answering secret
questions – which they are unlikely
to remember when the time comes
to reset their password. The result,
is continued calls to the IT helpdesk.

Nuance’s FastReset solution
provides a fully automated, selfservice password reset function
that requires no knowledge from the
user. To reset their password, a user
is prompted to speak a common
passphrase, such as “My voice will
reset my password”, and through
voice biometrics, the user’s identity
is validated and their password
reset.
