XF 2.0 Send Out Bulk Password Resets to Registered Members?

[JasonJaz]

Hi is there a way we can bulk send a password reset link to all of our registered members or individually?
We recently migrated from vB to xF2 and we have over 200,000 registered members.
This feature was available in vB but I don't see it in xF2

Thanks in advance!

No, it's not possible.

Why do you need to reset the passwords?
The importer preserves them.

Our [DBTech] DragonByte Security mod does have this feature, however

I'm currently working on an update that will integrate forced password change (XF2 feature, a flag that means each individual member must change their password on next login) and mass password reset (our own feature) into the "Batch update users" page in XF2, rather than as standalone pages.

You may wish to combine the above with Password Tools by @Xon, in order to ensure that when users pick new passwords, they pick the most secure passwords possible
The password rule functionality in Password Tools is more modern than the old-school "require lower case / upper case / symbol / numbers" approach in DragonByte Security, and is more user friendly too.
