Hi Auth0 community, I’m gonna quickly introduce myself, I am a French NEWBIE in Auth0 and its world and I am actually a studend in UI / UIX Design. The idea is simple ; I have an **existing** Database and I want my users to : - Login through their email and as soon as they login, they HAVE TO change their password. I found this topic interesting : [https://community.auth0.com/t/sending-password-change-email-instead-of-verification-email-for-a-new-user/55713/6](https://community.auth0.com/t/sending-password-change-email-instead-of-verification-email-for-a-new-user/55713/6) I followed it but nothing work for me. Any other clue ? Thanks for reading me Have a nice day ! 😃 ---

Hi @7Lee In addition to what @SaqibHussain said, I would add “don’t do this”. Forcing users to reset their password this way is an anti pattern. It probably means you sent them a clear text password via email, which is an insecure thing to do. Instead, you should send them a password reset link, so they set their own password. John ---

Hi guys I followed the steps you sent me and It worked ! Thanks a lot for your help and your time. Also, thanks a lot @john.gateley for your advice, I took it in consideration and it will be safer to use a password reset link instead of a clear text password. Have a great days guys Sincerely 7Lee ---
