Ability to change password on login page of SDA
Many libraries are creating individual logins for each staff member. Staff needs the ability to change their password in case they forget it. At this point, they need to be logged into the SDA to change their password which doesn't help if they can't remember it.

Would love to see this! We have staff with varying degrees of memory skills &/or password reset paranoia. Giving them the option to update or reset their own password would make things far easier for admin staff.

We had this problem so often, that our Sierra admin created an app which allows the users whose Sierra login name matches their institutional login name to authenticate and reset their Sierra password. I also agree with Phil that there should be the option to block this for shared accounts. I could see a student worker hitting a reset overnight and the morning shift are toast.

I agree with Phil, as it's very common for self-serve password resets to be handled via email in this way.
Of course, I'd rather be using SSO, but until then...

I like the idea of this. I suppose that this process could send an email reset link to the email address in the staff user account, except that there's not one, so that would have to be added. We also might want to have a setting for shared accounts that doesn't let the password be reset.
