Change password for several users was created by aalisg
Hello,

We have pre-registered a lot of users (more than 300) and we would like now to give them their credentials (email address and password) so they can log in into our website.

In order to be able to communicate them their temporary password we stored a copy of them in plain form in another field.

The fact is that for security reasons we would like to change the temporary passwords we attributed them.

With a SQL function we were able to change these passwords stored in plain form in the other field. But now, what we would like to do, is to copy these passwords in plain form in the "real" password field so the change will be really effective.

Is there a way to do this automatically for a specific range of users because it will be very exhausting to do this manually for the more than 300 users concerned?

Regards,

How are you pre-registering them? Backend user creation and user import both can send their registration emails to them, which can include the password if you use randomly generated passwords. This way each user gets a random unique password. Next when creating them toggle on Reset Password at the same time. Now their randomly generated password is single use and they'll have to change it on first login. I do not recommend storing passwords in plaintext anywhere at any time.

Hello and thank you for your reply,

The fact is that the users are allready pre-registered. This password storage in plain text is temporary and they will be deleted as soon as the users will be communicated their credentials.

The only way to automate clearing that field then would be to use CB Auto Actions. You'd need to have a Field action on the onAfterUserUpdate trigger then check if their password was changed. Easiest way to do that is checking if [var1_password] is empty or not or checking for [post_password] being empty or not. Your field action can then clear that field.
