How to implement temporary random password generation sent via email for new Memberstack signups? Answered
Hi, I wanted to ask if Memberstack can do a random password generation for logging in? We wanted to have a temporary random password generation upon signing up instead of user input and passwordless.
We wanted to have a temporary random password generation that will be sent to the Member's email. The process is like this, we will be the provider of member's password and the only way for the user to change it is to do a password reset.
Thank you.

Hey Ralf, do you want to make the signup frictionless (i.e. only collect emails during signup) and allow users to set a password / use passwordless. You could explore that memberscript to come up with a logic for password generation that you feel makes it more secure and fool-proof and let the users generate it and to be able to see and make a note of the password for future use.
You want signup forms to collect only emails and then generate a temporary password automatically for that account (which essentially expires like backup codes / authenticator app codes) for every specific period of logins etc., I am afraid that might not be possible as of now. I am curious to know about your use-case and why you would not prefer passwordless / password methods of signup though.
When you say temporary, can you please explain it a bit more as to what does the timeframe mean here / how would it be different than passwordless feature (which sends the temporary login code to the member's email)?
Got it. Thanks! We'll check the paswordless feature for this scenario. Because upon on your explanation, it seems like the goal is the same.
