I would like to mail all my registered users a password reset link. How do I go about this? Or if there’s currently a plugin for this, kindly point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Dave.

Woah!

Offtopic – Why the need?

[@david- Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

I just converted from smf => Phpbb => bbpress, and the passwords aren’t working unless they request for a password reset.

Most members keep mailing to complain about this. I want to just send the whole thing to them once and for all.

In this instance, i would write a script that set a new password for them, and emailed them it. (can/should be done outwith bbPress).

In the email i’d tell them why they are getting it, and suggest that they log in and choose a new one.

It’s not ideal, but this isn’t really a common siutaiton so i doubt there’s a plugin for it.

+1 for kevin’s approach

[@david- Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

How do I go about writing such a script? Can you do this?

Sure! Are you looking for a paid job? Mail me – ashishsainiashfame[at]gmail<dot>com

Else someone with free time might be able to do it.

its better to have a reset password link so that the user can choose thier favorite password.

[@esteroizi Member 14 years, 1 month ago]
