Bulk import with random password and reset flow

Get Help
1

99% of our end users never log into our site and instead use a guest checkout flow. I’m trying to determine if the following is possible:

  1. Bulk import users by email address from existing site and generate a random password
  2. If the user ever did decide to log in after migration, they would be able to initiate the reset password flow using their email address.

I know a better user experience would be to create a reset password email during import but this is how our product owner would like this to work.

Hi @barrett.cervenka ,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

I understand that you want to bulk import users with a random password and later users can reset their passwords to log in. Your use case is feasible. We have a few FAQs regarding user bulk import in case they could be helpful.
