password changed in welcome mailer

This is really strange. Maybe some other plugin are interacting badly there.

Anyway, did you follow the documentation about how passwords are managed?

Passwords (column password and user_pass)A string that contains user passwords. We have different options for this case:

• If you?create a password column: if cell is empty, password won’t be updated; if cell has a value, it will be used.
• If you?create a column called user_pass, it will be a hashed password that will be inserted directly in the database. This is the best option to move users with their passwords using the export tool.
• If you?don’t create a column for passwords (nor user_pass nor password): passwords will be generated automatically.
• You should not use both columns in the same import

• Panel one – user email received with changed password
• Panel two – import log showing specified password
• Panel three – email variable set in mail options template
• Panel four – CSV import file

A previous import on 2024-08-05 worked as expected. The only other user plugin running was Members. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/members/ Tested with plugin disabled and still getting the similar result of a different generated password than the one passed in the CSV.

I have tried on two different installations and cannot reproduce your problem.

Besides, it is such a serious problem that with the amount of plugin users this forum should be full if it was a recurring problem.

I am almost certain that this is a problem created by an external element. Try a completely fresh installation with nothing else and you’ll see.
