===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 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. Clicking the '''Sample Template''' link will update the templates with the variables that should be used instead.
