I have a small list of users who have signed up for my service but do not have passwords.
I would like to import these users in to Auth0 without a password but I need to direct them to set their password for the first time.
How could I achieve that using Auth0, is it possible to invite users for the first time where they just have to enter a new password?
There’s a docs page for this use case,
however it only mentions the raw API endpoints for email verification / email reset.
One approach that isn’t mentioned on that page is the use of Rules.
You could create a rule that checks for the user.last_password_reset attribute and if such isn’t set, you would trigger the password reset flow, also within the Rule, via Management API call.
These sample rules might be worth a look:
Thanks, I think I can use the Authentication API here to send a reset email to each user: Change Users' Passwords, and then redirect them to login.
I can modify the email wording slightly to make it sound more like a first time setup. It’s is just a small migration right now for an MVP with a few hundred users so can get away with something pretty basic.
