Forgotten password: Domino self-service password change using SMS password delivery

When a user requests a new password because they forgot it (either by using a Notes Client or by using a Browser), Domino should be able to automatically set a new password for a user and deliver it to the user via SMS to their mobile phone number (if defined in the Person Document).

For additional security at this unauthenticated stage, additional features should be available, such as:

  • Security questions/answers initially pre-defined by the user, or autogenerated by Domino
  • Anomaly detection by an integrated Domino Watson service (e.g. based on source IP number)
  • Re-Captcha
  • Other features definable by the Administrator

Domino should log the event in an auditable way, and inform Domino operators about the event.

    @Thomas Hampel: I disagree.

    The one-time password could be configured in a way that it does not work unless a security question is answered correctly. (basically a 2nd factor) In addition, the OTP can be configured to expire after a short amount of time.

    Delivering passwords via SMS means that they would be sent in clear text, so need to reject this idea because this is insecure.

    In response to "SMS is inherently insecure" : What alternative communication channel would you suggest, that is less broken than email and SMS?

    And the other aspect is, if a platform provides a certain feature, organizations are free to use it, or not. But if the feature isn't there, organizations may be stuck with expensive and slow callcenter-based processes.

    Most of the companies I work for, and mine, would not  be able to honor/implement/support the new password being in the e-mail, because of regulatory compliance to "protect the user",  but a temp password that works for next "hour" or so should/might get past those internal and external fear-based auditors.

    SMS is inherently insecure, as multiple examples exist of SIM spoofing. With Identity theft using SIM spoofing on the rise, I would rather see this feature NOT implemented.

    I would imagine that there would already be one or more business partner that have already built a self service password reset solution. So personally I would prefer if to buy / use those product so HCL developer can spent their time doing other request. IMHO, this is a Win - Win solution for everyone.
