I wanna do the same thing (via URL) to reset a password for an existing user. Is there a use case for updating user profile field data via URL request?
In the autoactions section I see a couple of things that look promising:
1. First screenshot - Type/Action and Action/Profile-Update
2. Second screenshot - Type/Field and Action/Password
Thanks for looking into this.
Hi again.
As this thread involves coding proposals it is really out of scope of normal support and requires (if possible and doable) developer feedback.
There are no guarantees that devs will be able to propose code for you but I have marked the thread for devs to give feedback to as soon as possible.
Yes it's possible, but what you're asking is dangerous. The security problems surrounding this are going to bite you somewhere down the road. You can change the password field using a Field action, but you can not reset it from a Field action.
To randomize it you need to use a Code action with PHP method, construct the user object, and run setRandomPassword() function on it followed by a store. Example as follows.
Again, I really don't recommend doing this. Always use manual action for password reset (e.g. use Forgot Login).
