Generate a Temporary Password

Complete these steps to generate a random password.

To generate a random password for selected users:

1. After meeting the requirements for random password generation (see list above), open the Manage Users screen and click Query to identify any users who require a random password.
2. Click to view a list of employees.
3. Select the user(s) who require a random password.
   Click in the box before the user's name, or press CTRL+click to select multiple names.
4. Click Actions > Generate Temporary Password, or right-click anywhere on the screen and select Generate Temporary Password.
5. When prompted to generate a new password for selected users, click OK.

Warning: If no users have been selected, Costpoint generates a new password for ALL queried users.

Costpoint generates random temporary passwords and sends them to users via email. Only the individual user sees the password. Costpoint prompts the user to change the password at the next login.
