Force password change ?

RE: www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/229866-force-password-change#307346

Now a new need for this has arised because of GDPR. It is not allowed to send the password cleartext through unencrypted mail if we are talking about, that it could lead to disclosure of sensitive material about the user. Also a website might be forced to activate a password change request periodically - this is a realy urgent need for EU countries !

[MOD EDIT]: Please do not bump extremely old topics. Simply create a new topic and reference the old if you feel it's relevant.

You can force a password change by editing the user and setting Reset Password to Yes within CB > User Management. On their next login attempt they'll be asked to change their password (this will utilize Joomlas profile edit page).

There is no specific regulation in GDPR preventing emailing passwords that I am aware of. If there is please provide a link to its legal article definition and will review. Regardless we are planning to rewrite how forgot login works to no longer need to send the password unless using randomly generated passwords.
