Uploading list and managing passwords

Javier,

What Todd was referencing is a password reset url containing a password reset key versus a simple url that goes to the page where a user can request a password reset.

Password reset url:
http://siteurl.com/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=5mUBMjInHtwKNZY3APX7&login=username

Lost Password URL:
http://siteurl.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

I ran into the same issue, we’d prefer not to send passwords to users directly via email for security reasons, so I actually made the following changes, feel free to use this or discard this as you wish. This utilizes the get_password_reset_key() function.

Added a new email variable **passwordreseturl** and the following code to import-users-from-csv-with-meta/importer.php:

// send mail
if( isset( $form_data["sends_email"] ) && $form_data["sends_email"] && $mail_for_this_user ):
//Because sending email passwords in plaintext is bad
// Generate password reset key.
$key= get_password_reset_key( $user_object );
$user_login= $user_object->user_login;

$passwordreset_url  = network_site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=rp&key=' . $key . '&login=' . rawurlencode( $user_login ), 'login' );

$body_mail = get_option( "acui_mail_body" );
$subject = get_option( "acui_mail_subject" );
												
$body_mail = str_replace("**loginurl**", "<a href='" . home_url() . "/wp-login.php" . "'>" . home_url() . "/wp-login.php" . "</a>", $body_mail);
$body_mail = str_replace("**lostpasswordurl**", wp_lostpassword_url(), $body_mail);
$body_mail = str_replace("**passwordreseturl**", $passwordreset_url, $body_mail);
$body_mail = str_replace("**username**", $username, $body_mail);
