Rules by organisation, group or role. Self-service resets. One credential across connected systems.
Passwords generate more helpdesk tickets than anything else in identity, and most of them are resets. Akku puts the policy in one place, lets people reset their own passwords through identity-verified self-service, and synchronises the change to every connected system so it holds everywhere.

Password management covers the credential a person uses to sign in to your systems: the rules it has to meet, how it gets changed or recovered, and how that change reaches every system that holds an account for them. Done in one place it is a policy. Done application by application it is a set of policies that disagree.

Define complexity, length, expiry, history and lockout rules and apply them at organisation, group or role level. That granularity matters because the same rules rarely fit everyone: a service desk account and a finance approver are different exposures, and a single expiry interval for the whole business is a compromise in both directions.

Identity-verified self-service flows let someone change or reset their own password without raising a ticket or waiting for an administrator. Verification happens before the reset, so the route around a forgotten password is not also a route in for someone else.

When someone changes their password, the change synchronises to the directories and applications where you hold an account for them, so they have one working credential across your systems instead of one per system drifting out of step. For the administrator it also means a forced change actually propagates instead of applying in one place and being quietly stale in three others.
