So, maybe we direct first time users to the link (reworded or not) and they set their password.
For patrons that don't have an e-mail, we have a set/reset option that generates a temporary password, and prints a slip that directs them to a page where they type in their library card number (not printed on the slip), and they use that password. Then it prompts them to reset the password. The slip doesn't have to be printed for over-the-phone resets. We just direct them to the page and give them the password over the phone.
With other systems in a public library context, usually a new user will be told "your password is the last 4 digits of your phone number" or something like that, and then when you log into the OPAC with that password, it prompts you to reset your password.
This doesn't feel like a good practice because it would encourage insecure passwords and there is no guarantee the user will log in and change it anytime soon? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
