Resetting all users' passwords

One option allows you to reset all user passwords. This can help improve user and system security after data breaches.

OpenCms encrypts passwords using the “scrypt” method. This means that even after a so-called “data leak,” user passwords cannot usually be decrypted.

However, if the OpenCms installation is potentially affected by a “data leak,” it is still recommended to reset all user passwords.

Note: Resetting the passwords of all users can only be triggered by OpenCms Administration in consultation with Alkacon.
