Originally created by @emersonfelipesp on GitHub (May 3, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.2.3-dev

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

The functionality is to allow new users recently registered on Netbox by the administrator to change its own password when doing the first login.
I don't know if it is maybe a "Django issue" or something like that, as we currently use Django Admin to create new Netbox accounts.

But I will let below an example of how it would be great to have on Netbox:
When checking the option Require password change on first login the field name of Password changes to Temporary Password (I got it from requarks.io)

Use case

When adding new users, I don't think it is secure to have Netbox user password known by the Netbox admin in some way.
I think that other than just funcionality, it improves security.

I believe this would require overriding the default DJango user class. You should try and expand your implementation details more if you can.

Indeed it is something more like a Django feature than a Netbox feature. I will try to implement it and come back with some code.

I am going to look if there is a Django DEP about it and maybe create one, or at least discuss about it on Django Developers mailing list

This definitely sounds like a generic feature that should be implemented upstream in Django, rather than something we shoehorn in. Let us know how it goes @emersonfelipesp! If you don't get anywhere upstream we can revisit.

It's here: [Django Developers Group] Require password change on first login when creating new users

I haven't put a lot of information, but I think it is easy to get the point of what the feature should do.
