Default random password for users

[HappyAlligator]

Hello Caspio community!

I have a doubt, is possible to make a random password and then send it for my users? My idea is that I going to make the registration (or a least part) of the users and they can't be without a password, for obviously reasons, so later they going (and need) to change this default password for something of else.

Hi @HappyAlligator! Yes. It is possible. Add a text field in your table, set it as Autovalue (Random Password) on the Submission Form, then enable the Acknowledgement Email and add the field on the message body. After submitting the form, they will receive the random password via email.

 

In addition to this, I found this Appointment Scheduling template that shows what you're trying to accomplish. I believe you can request it here so you check

I hope this helps.

Hello! Just to add on this, you can implement this article as well so they can already change their default password upon their initial login to your application.

Oh! Thank you so much!! The only thing left is how i put that AutoValue field in the email, I try with [@cbParamVirtual1] but i get blank, how i get the real value?

Hi,  @HappyAlligator. You should use a field from your table instead of using a Virtual field where you will save the initial password. Hope this  helps.

Thank you PotatoMato, is just later for the  authentication is not going to use the password field no? Because this field is not the one that received the AutoValue

Hi @HappyAlligator - yes, it is different from the password field.
