System and method for password recovery

A computerized method for recovering a password comprising the steps of:

• receiving an indication, through a computer system, from a user, that a password needs to be recovered;
• receiving a unique identifier, through the computer system, from the user;
• determining a classification of the unique identifier, said classification selected from the group consisting of Invalid, Valid, and Verified, wherein the classification of the unique identifier is determined according to computer readable instructions;
• determining a classification of an account associated with the unique identifier, wherein said classification of the account associated with the unique identifier is Sensitive or Non-Sensitive, and, wherein the classification of the account associated with the unique identifier is determined according to computer readable instructions;
• and
• determining the unique identifier is valid and the account associated with the unique identifier is non-sensitive;
• obtaining a recovered password;
• and
• transmitting the recovered password to the user.
