DTFPASWD allows user to change password in many databases at once
Having users periodically change passwords is a hassle. But it's made much worse when the user has to make the same change in multiple databases.
You have the same hassle if you, the administrator, make the changes for the users.
With DTFPASWD, the administrator (or the user) only has to enter a password once.  While it is being entered, it is not visible (unlike entering a password with Q&A).  The program then makes the change in all the databases defined for that user.
The database administrator keeps track of which users are allowed to use which databases (see also dtfadmin), and maintains a file named DTFPASWD.INI. This file is used by the program to know for which databases the password should be changed.
DTFPASWD can also be used to change a user ID simultaneously in several databases.
