User Management now allows administrators to invalidate passwords replacing each password with a long randomly generated string. This is useful to make sure that nobody can log in to a TEST instance with their PROD password for instance.

Administrators can also re-set passwords by triggering a "set your password" email with a link to affected users which is helpful to meet enterprise requirements of requiring password changes on a regular basis.

This feature can be used from [Scheduled Actions](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UM/pages/4620619) or used as a [Bulk User Action](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UM/pages/4620532) on one or more users using the search options outlined [here](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UM/pages/4948129) and then following the steps shown below:

**Confirm your selection of users**
