You can generate new passwords when importing profiles. When the import occurs, a token is triggered for the profile. When the shopper selects the token link, the system navigates the shopper to the change password page, where they have the option to provide their user name, and create a new password. The token is a one-time password that expires within a time frame that you configure. Generating a new token does not clear a shopper’s existing password.

To allow a shopper to request a new password, use the emailTemplate parameter in the request. This provides the name of the email template used during the creation of new profiles, for example, shopper_acc_reg_v1. If an email template is not provided, email will not be sent.

The following is a sample profile import with a new password request:

{
  "fileName": "profile.zip",
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "bulkProfileHandler",
      "format": "json",
      "params": {
        "emailTemplate": "shopper_acc_reg_v1"
      }
    }
  ]
}
