Feature #14364
closed
Password generator feature
0%
Description
In systems where auto-register is disabled, it is somewhat nasty to generate a random password for every new user - especially if a bunch of new users is to be set up. It is already enough work to enter names and email addresses.
I would prefer to have some choice to autogenerate a random password with acceptable complexity (maybe configured by Admin). This could be reached with a simple button "Generate random pwd" beneath the password fields in the new user form and some JavaScript that does the generation (no need to implement this on the "server side").

I like the idea!
In fact I had a similar idea when I added 10 users recently...

I guess it's time to upgrade... We're still on 2.3.0.

Well I'm on trunk. This is a planned feature for 2.4.

OK - because it's not in yet in release: Since I'm a very, very lazy being, I'd prefer that to be active by default (if not so already) ;-)

Not the best idea. Since everytime you change the user mail or something else, the user will get notified about a new password.

Objection :-)
Should only be "ON" by default for "New User" (which is what I've asked for and what we're takling about). Agreed that this should be "OFF" when editing user's settings.

Hello, I am new to redmine. I tried version 2.6 and version 3.1, but couldn't find the random password generation feature. Could anyone help?
