How to create a temporary Password for a user (System Admin only)

The problem

We have a regular problem where our emails are blocked and so user who attempt to register cannot, or get lost password emails cannot, or get a passwordless login link cannot, etc.

Can we add a simple ability for System Admins to change a users password by generating a new random password and copying it and sending in our own email, chat or some other method.

The solution

2 Ape 2025 Nicanor added a new button/function to set a temporary password for any User.

• Added a “Create new Password” button in the User page.
• It’s only available to system admins.
• If you click it it will ask for confirmation: “Are you sure?”.
• And once you confirm it will show the message:
• “New Password Created” And the password (with some characters hidden) and a “Copy” button, to copy to clipboard.

(Password Created)

NOTE: A Password should only be created in the rare case that a user cannot resolve the problem of not receiving emails and should be used as a last resort to support users only.

If the system admin clicks “Create new password” the copy button will be shown. If the system admin refreshes the page, it will not see the button anymore. That’s on purpose. We should not be displaying passwords indefinitely. If you want to see the button again, you will have to create a new password.

The user can reset their password at any time, as always. This does not interfere with any existing process.
