Mass Update Password script

[Skeptical]

Does anyone know if there's a script that will do the following?

 

- Change all user cpanel passwords as well as WHMCS passwords (same PW), and then send out an email to inform clients of their new info?

I need to update a few thousand cPanel passwords as well. Does anyone know of a way todo this?

If you have root access then in your root WHM under account functions you have use the force password change which will force all users to change their passwords next time they try to login to their cpanels and you can also email all users, change passwords etc from this area

I'm not aware of a script that can do this already but i can be done.

 

If you are wanting to change every cPanel password associated with a WHMCS service, you could get a list of every active cPanel service from the database, iterate over it and call the Module_Change_Password command and send it a random password. You can then either email them the new password or inform them that their password has been reset and please login to the client portal to view or change the password.

I think this is great idea, especially to get customers to change their passwords periodically which is good practice, maybe not monthly, but annually or every 6 months should be good.
