## What it is
PassCore is a one-page web application built with ASP.NET Core and React that lets users change their own Active Directory or LDAP passwords without administrator help. It includes a password meter, password generator, reCAPTCHA support, and can be deployed on IIS, Docker, or Linux.

## Use cases
- let employees reset their Active Directory password without calling IT
- self-service password change portal for a Windows domain
- web-based LDAP password change tool
- reduce helpdesk tickets for expired domain passwords
- deploy a password change page on IIS or Docker
- enforce stronger passwords with a password strength meter and pwned-password checks

## When to choose
- you run Active Directory or LDAP and want a free, simple self-service password change portal
- you need a lightweight .NET web app deployable on IIS, Docker, or Linux
- you want built-in password strength metering, generation, and reCAPTCHA protection

## When to avoid
- you need full account self-service (unlock, MFA enrollment, profile edits) rather than just password changes
- your environment is not domain-joined or does not use Active Directory/LDAP
- you need a commercially supported product with ongoing feature development
