DNN 7 - User creation notification and random password not working


I am using DNN 07.03.04 (45) and I have problem when creating a new user. When notification and random password box is marked (see image) user receives no notification and no random password on given email. Is this a bug? enter image description here

Solution

  • It is not a bug. I believe they stopped sending password as plain text strings in an Email since version 7.x (maybe even earlier) for security reasons. That is why you can only reset your password with a token you receive by mail. Before that DNN would send you your password by mail if you had forgotten it (see DNN 6 screenshot for proof).
