How are password changes handled within IdentityNow?

When handling password changes within IdentityNow, the process involves evaluating the password change request before it is executed in the downstream system. This evaluation is crucial for maintaining security and ensuring compliance with organizational policies. By reviewing the password change request, IdentityNow can enforce rules such as complexity requirements, check for password reuse, and ensure that the change aligns with other identity governance policies. This proactive evaluation helps mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access and strengthens the overall security posture of the organization.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the process. Executing changes in the downstream system first would bypass any necessary validations, potentially leading to security vulnerabilities. Stating that there is no evaluation process overlooks the importance of governance and compliance checks involved in managing identity data. Finally, while logging and reviewing password changes can be a part of monitoring and auditing practices, this does not encompass the immediate evaluation that occurs prior to executing any password changes.
