Auto-generated password through email

[Former Member]

whenever users request to change their password, we used to reset their password and inform ... alternatively I would like to initialize their password and can they receive such autogenerated password through email.

is there any facility like forgot password based on hint questions etc. in SAP.

Hi,

you can

1. Create a new random password using function module RSEC_GENERATE_PASSWORD
2. Set the new (initial) user password using function module BAPI_USER_CHANGE
3. Send an email to the user, if you have the email address in the user data.
