Abstract
The present disclosure relates to changing a password in a proximity-based authentication system. After a successful proximity-based authentication, a password agent may determine that a password does not comply with an administrative password policy. The password agent may then generate a new password that does comply with the administrative password policy and submit a password change request to an administrator of that password policy, without any input by a user at these steps. The user can then request to view the password for input to a service using the same password, and after passing a biometric challenge may view the password.
