Abstract
A password management service provides automated password management. In one embodiment, a method for automating password changes begins in response to a determination that automated password changes are authorized. In response, a data mining session is initiated. Within the data mining session, a set of third party applications or sites are identified. Then, and responsive to receipt of a password reset flow authorization, a password reset flow to one or more of the third party applications or sites is initiated by the service. Thereafter, and still within the data mining session, and for each of the one or more third party applications or sites, a determination is made whether a password reset confirmation link has been received by the service. In response to a determination that a password reset confirmation link has been received for a given third party application or site, the service uses the password reset confirmation link to perform an automated password reset and thereby obtain a new user password for the application or site.
