Abstract
Systems and methods to securely change a password in a distributed computing system are presented. According to an exemplary method, a stored value and a destination address of a user are stored. A request to change the password is received from the user. A message, for example, an electronic mail message, is sent to the destination address. The message specifies a link to the stored value. If the link is valid, then the user is permitted to log in to the distributed computing system using the stored value as a log in password. Each time that the user logs in to the distributed computing system, the stored value is updated, thereby invalidating any previously issued link.
