Just for a point of discussion, setting these two password fields to random numbers doesn't seem to provide any benefit to the administrator. I'm assuming these are required to be there rather than a blank space. It would be very beneficial to the administrator if something useable was put into that field, even if they were all the same. For example - maybe a specific number such as 5 + extension number. Or set them all to 1234 or something similar. This way, the end user can be instructed on what is there, and how to change it, rather than the administrator having to change all of them to something useable.
With a random number, the end user can't log into voicemail or the GUI to change it until after the administrator makes a change since it is random and hidden. I'd recommending making it something standard using some method that allows the administrator to know how it will be populated. I can write a Jira or add notes to any Jira that addresses this. I suspect there will be many opinions on this, probably a healthy discussion.

I have a default that I apply to all installations when I import my file just so there is something there that I can convey to everyone easily during training. Todd, With 4.6 we have two sets of credentials as you noticed instead of one -Voicemail PIN which defaults to a random value of 4 digits - so we don't set a constant default value, we generate a random sequence of 4 digits as a default -User password which stands for User Portal, XMPP, REST API, Open ACD password (same for all of them) - this is the same here, we don't set a constant default value, we generate a random sequence of 8 characters as a default Basically the administrator will have to manually set desired values Another change regarding passwords is that now the SIP password is a random sequence of 12 characters (instead of 8 as it was in 4.4) Mircea
