Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods are described for searching and replacing user credentials in a multiple disparate credential store environment. Upon authentication of a user to change credentials, credential information of multiple disparate credential stores is searched. Upon population of search results, users indicate which of the credentials they desire to change and results are committed upon affirmative execution in a user interface dialog. In this manner, users locate their credential information, from whatever store, and change it in quantity or singularly from a single point of control. They can also fully understand how many passwords, secrets, keys, etc., they have over the many disparate stores available to them and affirmatively control their relationship to other credential information. Reversion of credential information to an earlier time is still another feature as is retrofitting existing SSO services. Computer program products and computing network interaction are also disclosed.
