user import and initial login flow

    Here is the flow I want to create:

    – Import a set of users
    – import other information about the user for user listing in BusinessDirectory
    – Once both are imported, I want to select a set of users and send them an activiation email allowing them to login to their newly created account

    Questions:
    – Clicking on the activation takes them to a login screen, but how are they supposed to know their password?
    – I can’t see where/how UM sends the username/password to the user, in fact, I’m pretty sure I read that you don’t do this for security reasons, so how is the user supposed to know their login information??
    – Is there a way to do this?
    – Is there a way to force a new password on first loging?

    Thanks.

    It would seem that UM is built assuming the user creates an account and will know the password they used when creating that account. For user imports, it isn’t clear to me if UM supports a way to send the user their password or to import a one-time password but require them to reset their password after their first login, or some other way to force the user to set their password…

    I can send everyone a password reset, but that doesn’t actually change the password and they can ignore it and their password will remain the same.

    I know UM doesn’t directly support user import, but it seems like there ought to be a way to make the import flow work…any suggestions?

    Hi @rodandar

    When you use an import plugin, UM assumes that it has existing passwords so that the user can log in to the new site/live site using the same password. UM doesn’t have functionality that sends the passwords to the user.
