Hi folks,

I just became aware of what looks like a functionality change between 1.6 and 
2.2.  When we went live with our first Evergreen library on 1.6, patrons were 
required to change their passwords the first time they logged in to the OPAC.  
It looks like this is no longer the case; I've tested with new and newly 
migrated patrons in 2.2.

The 1.6 documentation for the OPAC states, "Patrons are given temporary 
passwords when new accounts are created, or forgotten passwords are reset by 
staff. Patrons MUST change their password to something more secure when they 
login or for [sic] the first time. Once the password is updated, they will not 
have to repeat this process for subsequent logins." 
(http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/MyAccount.html).
The documentation for this section has not been updated for the 2.x series.

Is there a setting somewhere that we could turn on to re-enable this feature?  
I've dug through the in-client administrative settings, but haven't found any 
likely candidates.  We would like to force our newly migrated library's patrons 
to change their passwords from the defaults set during conversion.

Thanks!
Jenny
