FAQ
- How does it work?
-
When you click rest passwords, the plugin recreates random passwords for every user and emails them the link to the “lost password” page.
- Will I be secure now from a hack?
-
Not necessarily. We advise you change your SALTS in the wp-config.php file which will force logouts for all users. WordPress provide a tool to generate new ones.

Reviews
Works on MS, may crash with many users
This plugin does what it says on the tin. Works with multisite. Simply run it from the main blog in the network. Then delete it.
Gotcha: it runs thorugh all users in a single request, so it may time out if your network has more than, say, 500 users.. Depending on your server env, you may not even see an error page, so you won’t know which users were processed and which ones are pending.
Works well, but turn off wp-better-security first
This does what it says on the tin, and for that I am grateful!
However, if you have iThemes Security installed, with the ‘hide backend’ feature, you will want to turn that feature off before resetting the passwords. Or you will find yourself unable to use the reset link that gets sent in the email.
Doesn’t send a new password link
Works, but doesn’t send a new password link. So much work to fix this…
Worked
Worked fine on my blog. Thanks
