In the upcoming November 2023 release, password variables will be deprecated for improved security. All systems will be required to use the activation link variable (<code>@activationlink@</code>) to send the user to a page where they can enter their desired password instead of using the soon to be deprecated password variable (<code>@password@</code>) which sends a password in email. Therefore, the following variables will be deprecated and will not work after the November upgrade: <code>@password@</code>, <code>@checkportalpassword@</code>, <code>@checkactivatedpassword@</code>, <code>@randompassword@</code>, and <code>@passwordresetlink@</code>. | In the upcoming November 2023 release, password variables will be deprecated for improved security.

In the upcoming November 2023 release, password variables will be deprecated for improved security. All systems will be required to use the activation link variable (@activationlink@) to send the user to a page where they can enter their desired password instead of using the soon to be deprecated password variable (@password@) which sends a password in email. Therefore, the following variables will be deprecated and will not work after the November upgrade: @password@, @checkportalpassword@, @checkactivatedpassword@, @randompassword@, and @passwordresetlink@.
If you need help updating email templates for new users or password resets, reach out to our Support team. These email templates are located at Menu Icon > Global Settings > Security tab > Password and Activation Policies > Activation Emails tab. Clicking the Sample Template link will update the templates with the desired variable. Make sure to check any existing workflow emails for these soon-to-be deprecated variables.
Depending on how your user signup pages are configured, you may also need to update signup page templates for new users which can be found at Menu Icon > Global Settings > Communications > System Email Templates. You can filter the list by searching for “Signup”.
