How to allow users to set their own password after account creation using mem_id lookup?
Possible to change someones password on a backend with the users mem_id?
Say, if I wanted to allow a user to setup their password after they've already created an account and we've set a random string as their password (was necessary for our sales funnel flow to log the user in after they just put in their email) to avoid them knowing we made them an account.
And, can we customize the memberstack modals using CSS or are we limited to the edits made in the native memberstack modal designer?

Hey Ryan Esling,
In case you are creating a user via back-end like say using Make / Zapier, you don't need to create passwords for them since password is not a required field in Memberstack. You can create their account just with the email if that fits your project and have them login via Passwordless method when they visit your site.
The article linked above also shares how to setup passwordless method of login, which you can check out.
If you want the users to set a password just in case, you can also direct them to forgot password page where they can setup their password if they want. You can have the content of the forgot password page in such a way that the users feel they are setting their password for the first time.
Here's another way to reset a member's password in case of need but it's a one-on-one thing for each member via the dashboard.
That being said, I don't think it's possible to update a member's password via admin API, it is an action that a member can take on the front-end via forgot password / reset password as the case may be.
Yes you can customize the pre-built modals using CSS. Here's a starter guide on how to approach the same.
