===Major Updates===
====Password Variables to be Deprecated in November====
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>) to send which sends a password to the user 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>.
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.

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”.
