New Account Default Password Generator

Creating a new account default password using employee tags will allow you to get your new employee a password without compromising security.

Overview

When a new account, new user, or new employee is added to the system, the system will automatically create their new account default password. The settings behind how this password is created are located in the Profiles/Policies > Authentication area of the system.
