Force new user to change password at the first login

[seek78]

Hi,
it will be useful to have a setting that force new users to change password at first login.

This feature exists, after creating the user, you can go to the user setting and click on [Force Password Change] link.

What I meant was for automatic for newly created users, not manually as you indicated.

Oh, I misunderstood, reopening this for further discussion

If this gets done, it would be cool to also have an option to force password resets every x days...

frequent password changes are no longer suggested by security experts (and Microsoft)

I agree with Sebastian that it's not a recommended configuration, but we do support that feature, @valadas (under Security, Member Accounts tab, Member Management sub-tab)

@seek78 are you thinking of a toggle when creating a user (just like you can select Random Password you could select Force Password Change? Or just a higher-level policy that would always force the password change without a choice?

You could do this yourself by implementing IUserEventHandlers to handle the UserCreated event.

OMG, I actually used that feature in the past and totally forgot it existed...

Hi,
the first one: a toggle that force the password change at first access of users.
Better if this setting is at portal level.

Thanks
