Is it possible to reset all passwords on user accounts to a standard default password?

We have 300 members who have not logged on who keep asking to have their passwords reset. They seem incapable of using the "Forgot Login" system and we would like to send them a standard default password.

Regards,

Chris.

There's no functionality for that in CB or Joomla. There's only functionality to force a password reset on next login, but they'd need to know their current login for that to do anything. Send them an email using Mass Mailer with a link directly to your Forgot Login page is my best recommendation or change their passwords 1 by 1 with each being unique.

Please keep in mind if you set 300 accounts to the same password allowing that password to login to any of those 300 accounts you are in violation of GDPR.
