Email link to set password instead of emailing actual pasword?

@jdaviescoates,

Good morning, thanks for using this plugin.

We provide a variety of links to include in the password if you read below:

• **lostpasswordurl**
• **passwordreseturl**
• **passwordreseturllink**

And yes, sending passwords in emails is not so sure but if you use cyphered email and secure email connections for SMTP, POP or IMAP (even webmail) this is not like “postcards in transit”. They are cyphered and secure, but keep a password in mailbox can be unsure anyway.

Hi Javier,

Thanks for your reply. I guessed that by:

We provide a variety of links to include in the password if you read below:

**lostpasswordurl**
**passwordreseturl**
**passwordreseturllink**

You meant that what I want to do is indeed possible – great! (even if you didn’t also tell me how to do it! ?? )

So then I went and had a better look around the various option and in Mail Options I see the email that gets sent out:

Welcome,
Your data to login in this site is:

URL to login: **loginurl**
Username= **username**
Password = **password**

I’ll have a play around with using some of the other options you’ve suggested to see which one works how I want it to work… (and then report back here so others know how to do it too)

Thanks!

Surely the one you need is: **passwordreseturllink**

This is explained below the email so everyuser could see it.

Hi, is there a way to show the passwordreseturllink (or loginurllink or whatever) as real url? (Instead of “Password reset link”)

@eures,

No, but if you want, we can add it.

If you know how to do it, send us the code, if not, we can do the code for you.

You can mail us to do it to contacto AT codection DOT com.

@javier Carazo
If you do, are there any costs?

A very little one if you need it now. If not, we can include it with next version.

@eures:

I’m not sure exactly what you want but I’ve got it working how I want like this:

Welcome,
Your data to login in this site is:
<ul>
 	<li>URL to login: **loginurl**</li>
 	<li>Username = **username**</li>
 	<li>To set your password, visit the following address:
**passwordreseturl**</li>
</ul>

This outputs:

Welcome,
Your data to login in this site is:

URL to login: https://url.com/admin/wp-login.php
Username = username
To set your password, visit the following address:
https://url.com/admin/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=randomkey&login=username

Which I think might be how you want it too, right? i.e. the full url in the email instead of text linking to a url.

@jdaviescoates,

Yes, this should work.
