PasswordForceChange by Adrian Jones

Force users to change their password.

PasswordForceChange

Processwire module to force users to change their password.

Key Features

  • During install it creates a new checkbox field in the user template, "force_passwd_change".
  • Automatic checking of this checkbox when creating a new user is determined by the "Automatic Force Change" module config setting.
  • When a user logs in for the first time (or if you have manually checked that field for an existing user), they will be warned that they have to change their password and they'll be automatically redirected to their profile page.
  • They must change their password to something new - they are not allowed to re-enter their existing password.
  • Bulk "Set All Users" option to at any time, force all users (by selected roles) to change their password.
