Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for verifying reset of credentials for user accounts. The methods and systems receive a request to change a credential associated with a user account. The user account has account privileges associated with a network service. The methods and systems send a reset notification to a network application maintaining separate credentials associated with the user account to inform a valid owner or user of the account that a credential has been reset. The methods and systems manage availability of at least a restricted subset of the account privileges until a reset verification is received from a valid owner or user.
