I have a question about the email notification users get when a new account is created for them. The notification currently gives user a link to “reset” their password. I am worried this is confusing, as users are accessing the platform for the first time and have never created a password before, so they have no password to “reset.” Rather, I would like all messaging to refer to “creating a password.” 

Does anyone have advice on how to configure messaging to be centered around “creating a password,”  rather than resetting a password? 

 

Email received by new user: 

After user clicks on “Reset your password” link:

@meaganpI totally agree with you.  Having a ‘reset password’ is very confusing. The problem is that emails can be intercepted and “live” passwords are not a good thing to have.

The best alternative that I’ve found is to use a standard temporary password (like Changeme1), and not use the password short code. Then be sure to configure the account to force a password reset on the first login.

Doesn’t solve the security issues 100% but it does help with the confusion.
