Set up script for Auth0 password reset

Help
1

Hello everyone, so excited to join the community!

I’m an user admin in my organization and I’m constantly requested to set up custom made passwords for the members, sometimes in a bulk so it is really time consuming going one by one in the dashboard and changing their password so I was thinking if it is possible to set up a script with Python so I can simply inject the IDs and their respective passwords into the database using the access management api key so they are automatically changed, I follow the info from here (Auth0 Management API v2) but I’m not really sure where to begin, do you have any ideas?

Hi @rcubero85

This isn’t what you want to hear, but my idea is “don’t do it”!

Setting passwords for users and then sending them the password is a security vulnerability.

You can update users (even their passwords) via the management API. The only trick is to get an access token. There’s a python SDK that helps a lot here.
