Bulk Password Regeneration

The “Bulk Password Regeneration” module lets you reset the passwords of several Dolibarr users at once and automatically send them their new credentials by e-mail. It is ideal for enforcing a new security policy, preparing a deployment, or reacting quickly after a security incident.

Operating principle

From the Dolibarr user list, you tick the relevant accounts, then choose the “Regenerate and send password” action in the mass-actions menu.
A confirmation window opens, allowing you to confirm:

• the automatic generation of new passwords

• the sending of information by e-mail to the selected users

After validation, the module updates the accounts and Dolibarr sends the new passwords using the configured mail system.

Main features

• Bulk regeneration of passwords for all selected users in the list

• Dedicated bulk action directly accessible from the Dolibarr user list

• Confirmation dialog to avoid any unintentional operation (double check: regeneration + e-mail sending)

• Automatic e-mails containing the new credentials for each affected user

• Use of Dolibarr’s standard password generation mechanism (unique passwords, stored securely)

Typical use cases

• Go-live of a new Dolibarr instance and creation of an initial batch of user accounts

• Enforcement of a new security policy requiring regular password changes

• Global password reset after a security incident or doubt about the confidentiality of access

• Periodic cleanup of accounts and reset of access for inactive users before reactivation

Benefits for your organization

• Significant time savings: no more resetting passwords one by one

• Enhanced security: fast, simultaneous password change for all targeted users

• Ease of use: the administrator remains on the standard “User list” screen, with no complex interface to learn

• Automatic communication: each user immediately receives their new password by e-mail, with no manual processing

Prerequisites

• Administrative rights on Dolibarr users

• Proper configuration of e-mail sending in Dolibarr (SMTP server or other working method)

With this module, you have a simple, fast and secure tool to manage Dolibarr user passwords at scale, while complying with security best practices.
