Password Manager Self-Service Site workflows

By configuring the Password Manager Self-Service workflows, you can specify what tasks will be available for users on the Password Manager Self-Service Site, and configure options for each available task. Preconfigured Self-Service workflows are available out of the box. You can always customize the workflow, add activities to or remove them from the workflow.

The following are the available Password Manager Self-Service workflows:

  • Register

  • Manage My Profile

  • Forgot My Password

  • Manage My Passwords

  • Unlock My Account

  • My Notifications

  • I Have a Passcode

All available workflows are preconfigured and ready to use.

The Self-Service and the workflows correspond to the tasks on the Self-Service Site. If you enable a self-service workflow, the corresponding task will be available to users on the Self-Service Site.

The Self-Service workflows provide the ability to combine different authentication options in a single workflow. For example, you can configure the authentication activities so that all secret questions are displayed on a single page, or only one secret question is displayed at a time. You can combine different authentication options such as authentication with Questions and Answers profile, Defender, and phone authentication in a single workflow.
