Auto Reset Password and Send an Email for PHPBB

[rvelton]

Importing to PHPBB is no problem, I have done that many time before, but I wanted to know if there is a way auto reset each users password and send an email with that new password to each user?

Thanks.

No. However if it's phpBB3 then the passwords cannot be imported anyway. Your users will need to reset their passwords after the import. You can read more about this here:

Steve,

Yeah I understand they will have to do that themselves, but I was hoping I could just email them a new password right after the import without them having to go through that step.

For example, vBulletin would assign a new random 8 character string and then send an email to the user stating their password has been change to XXXX.

Was just checking to see if anyone knew if this functionality existed.

That's what my 'No' was in response to. ;)

To clarify, there is no built-in function to do that.
