One-time admin password

TLDR - Quick Summary

What: Set temporary passwords for admin users requiring change on first login

Use Case: Creating new admin users or resetting admin passwords

Access: Settings tab > Add User or edit user with pencil icon

Security: Prevents admins from knowing each other's passwords

Overview

When setting the password of another admin user, you must use a one-time password. The other admin must change their password on first logon. This prevents admins from knowing each other's password.

Set a one-time password

In the case of either creating a new admin user or resetting an admin user’s account, you must assign a one-time password.

Under the Settings tab, either add a new user with the Add User button or edit a user with the pencil button under their row.
