make all users change their passwords now..

[jilly]

How can I make it so all active users will have tp change their password today?

There is no feature to mass change the passwords or force them to change it. You could however set a password history cycle up, for example, one per month. Which forces them to change it every 4 weeks.

how about in 3.5?

does 3.5.2 have a feature for mask change requests? I d liek it so after ai set a certain 'swich', the must change them again on each login, thne they are okay.

FOr example, if we suspect people's passwords have been compromised, and we want everyone to change their passwords on heir next login, there could be a button to do that in admin cp

Nope, sorry.

Where would I find password history mine is set to that and I want to change it.

This is a per usergroup setting.

Admin Control Panel > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager

What you could do is like Floris said: "set a password history cycle up". I dunno where it is in the settings since I haven't used my forums for a bit. But there should be an option to force users to change their passwords after a certain amount of time.

But if you enable that option and want it to be implemented right this second - then you'd want to run this query:

UPDATE user SET passworddate='2005-11-01';

Since it's been longer than 4 weeks, next time they login it will force them to change it. This is of course assuming that you have not altered the table name w/ a prefix.
