Why ArtfulBits Password Change Web Part?
SharePoint does not provide mechanism for users to change their passwords. Due to security and other reasons, users need to change their passwords for intranet or extranet SharePoint portals from time to time. Using ArtfulBits Password Change Web Part, authorized users can change their passwords without site administrator intervention and any other difficulties.
