Forced password change
A new faculty account, or any account flagged by the office, must set a new password before the rest of the app opens.
What this feature does
A new faculty account, or any account the office has flagged, cannot use the rest of the app until a new password is set. The phone and the public website both stop on a change-password screen.
This keeps a temporary password from staying in use after the first sign-in.
Forced password change is on the Mobile app and Website. It is not on the Web portal and Desktop.
