Configuring self-service password reset in Yandex Identity Hub

You can enable self-service password reset (SSPR) for local Yandex Identity Hub users using MFA policies.

To configure self-service password reset:

Cloud Center UI
  1. Log in to Yandex Identity Hub.

  2. In the left-hand panel, select  Security settings.

  3. Navigate to the MFA policies tab.

  4. In the MFA policy list, click in the policy row and select Edit. If you do not have an MFA policy, create a new one. In the window that opens:

    1. To enable self-service password reset for users added to an MFA policy target group, under Self-reset password:

      1. Enable Allow password reset.
      2. In the Reset method field, select at least one user verification method during the password reset:
      • Sequential entry of any two authenticators: Reset method where the user confirms their identity using any two verification methods, e.g., a TOTP and an SMS code.

        To use this method, the user account must have at least two MFA factors configured. Otherwise, only a user pool administrator can reset the password.

      • FIDO2 with mandatory user verification: Reset method where the user can verify their identity using a FIDO2 key or Passkey, but only together with local verification, such as a PIN, biometrics, etc.

        To use this password reset method, the user account must have a WebAuthn MFA factor configured. Otherwise, only a user pool administrator can reset the password.

    Note

    To disable self-service password reset, disable Allow password reset under Self-reset password.

  5. Click Save.
