Abstract
A computer system includes a management computer for automatically changing a password used to authenticate a user to a service application. A user device includes a password vault managed by a password management application. The management computer monitors for an event signifying that the password is to be changed, e.g., a predetermined number of uses, etc. A new password is assigned, and a first message is generated and sent to the service application including the new password and an indication that it is to be used for subsequent user authentication. A second message is also generated and sent to the password management application, also including the new password and an indication that it replaces a current password in the vault for user authentication. The new password is automatically used by both the service application and the user device during subsequent authentications until expiration.
