The ideal functionality of the Password Reset field is as follows; Staff set the field to a value of zero (i.e. "0"). Staff can also delete the Password Reset field to force a password reset in Pika. Pika sees that value and knows that it means the patron should be prompted to reset their password when they log into Pika. After patron resets their password Pika changes the value in that field to something like a date (i.e. 01/06/2023) so that staff know the last date the password was reset.
This field was never meant to house the password itself. Staff can have patrons set their password in the PIN field. Note: this functionality is in active development and is subject to change. |
