    Hi All,

    I am in need of a way to preset a password for all users. How can I either setup the password field to a preset value, or set it using a hook when the user registers?

    Hi @beacondigital

    Unfortunately, UM doesn’t have the functionality to mass reset the passwords of
    accounts. I suggest that you look for other WP plugins that do the password reset.

    Regards,

    Hi @champsupertramp,

    Thank you but I am actually trying to preset the password, not reset it.

    What I want to do is one of the following:

    Option 1
    Insert a hidden password field in the form that contains a password that I choose, not the registrant. For instance, in html the field in th form would look something like”
    <input id="password" name="password" class="input_text" type="password" value="Password" />

    Option 2
    Use a hook to insert the password, again of my choosing not the applicant, into the database when the form is submitted.

    The idea is that we are trying to make sure that everybody has the same password. Not a good idea normally but this is what the client insist on unfortunately.

    On a related note, I also have to remove the password reset function, and replace it with a password reminder email instead if possible.
