The document discusses an automatic password reset solution called Nuance Password Reset Application. It would help address challenges around reducing IT help desk costs, increasing security for password resets, and improving efficiency. The solution uses voice biometrics to securely authenticate users and allow them to reset their own passwords without involving IT support staff. This is estimated to save organizations over $10 per password reset on average by automating the process.

8. APR Step by step…The Caller Experience 1 2 3 The caller dials the password reset number and is prompted to say an identifying phrase, such as a phone number or a name. Phrase can be configured to meet any corporate policy The system compares the voice to the voiceprint on file for the caller . If the voiceprint matches, the system issues a new password to the caller
9. APR how does it work? Behind the Scenes… 1 2 3 Powerful voice biometric algorithms are applied to caller’s voice, encrypting it and creating a mathematical, binary voice print that is unique to that person. This voice print serves as the “fingerprint” for that caller, using over 80 characteristics of the human voice. The caller’s voice is quickly and efficiently compared to the voice print on file, allowing users to progress further in the call flow once authorized The caller can choose which system to reset, and the appropriate connector handles the reset of the backend system, retrieving/setting the temporary password, and resetting the system at the same time. Other options such as expiry dates, strong password enforcement, and others are also possible

There are three key areas for cost savings that we will review in this presentation – all related to increased automation. They are: Reduced agent time in verification Increased containment Reduced PIN resets Companies may also consider: An increase in security, resulting in reduced fraud. (We won’t be quantifying fraud in this presentation). Improved customer service due to providing a more convenient means of identification.
