Strengthen enterprise password security with centralized password management software

N‑able® Passportal™ is a cloud-based solution designed to help managed services providers (MSPs) automate user access security for large enterprises, while strengthening both their own and their customers’ passwords.

Enterprises need to ensure strict password security standards across a large number of employees. A password manager automatically generates individual, complex passwords to help keep user accounts and business data secure. Instead of needing to remember each individual password, using Passportal’s unified password manager means MSPs just need to remember one strong password for the manager itself. The manager then grants access to the other passwords and data technicians need.

By keeping passwords stored within a password manager, MSPs can use complex passwords for their enterprise accounts without having to write them down on sticky notes or spreadsheets.

Automatically change enterprise customer passwords

Being able to change passwords automatically is critical to any organization’s cybersecurity. After all, stale, unchanged passwords might leave sensitive enterprise data open to hacking.

As an MSP, you know the importance of keeping sensitive data secure. It is important to have password management software that can make the password-changing process fast and easy. With an automated tool, you can set passwords to automatically expire and generate new passwords on any frequency.
With Passportal you can:

  • Automatically generate unique complex passwords
  • Auto-expire passwords at whatever frequency you like
  • Conduct an auto-discovery of places the password has been used on the local Windows network
  • Auto-update configurations of scheduled tasks and Windows services across the network to use the new passwords

Secure your enterprise customers’ sensitive data with multiple layers of password encryption

Enterprise user accounts are a critical asset, and any business wants to know their information is being handled securely. Many password management software solutions claim to encrypt data, but are they really secure? Passportal is designed to ensure that MSPs can offer their customers a whole new level of security, beyond basic encryption.

At N‑able, we use multiple layers of encryption to help ensure customer account data can be managed, but not decrypted. With N‑able Passportal, we use multiple layers of encryption to help ensure customer account data can be managed, but not decrypted. Each password stored in your password vault is protected in transit by 2048-bit RSA keys, and at rest using over 300 different rounds of 256-bit symmetric encryption, with six different randomly generated keys. The unique organization key is the final step in unencrypting data for view within the browser.

What is password management software?

Password management software is a tool that safely generates and stores all of a user’s or organization’s passwords. It essentially acts like a digital safe for passwords. Password managers let you generate, store, retrieve, and change complex passwords for all of your individual accounts. That way, instead of needing to create and memorize multiple long and difficult passwords, you just need to remember one strong password for the manager itself. That one password will then give you access to all the passwords for your accounts.

MSPs are responsible for managing thousands of credentials for their customers. To help ensure those passwords are not only easily accessible, but also safe, it is critical that MSPs turn to a password manager for their client password management.
