Hi,

In your email template, you must include the password's placeholder as {password}. Then, pass the generated password to the email and replace {password} with the generated password.

Hello @Anush Kumar ,

It really depends on what triggers this email and password generation, but for a general case you can follow this guide:

1. Include an Input Parameter for the Password

   • Ensure the email logic includes an input parameter specifically for the generated password (e.g., TempPassword).

2. Create the Server Action for Sending the Email

   • In the UI flow, right-click the email widget and select "Send Email and Fill With Data".
   • This will generate a server action to handle email sending.

3. Generate the Temporary Password

   • Drag the server action responsible for generating the password into the flow.
   • Verify that this action has a well-defined output parameter (e.g., GeneratedPassword) to return the temporary password.
   • If the password generation logic does not include an output parameter, create one.

4. Bind the Generated Password to the Email Parameter

   • Use an Assign node or directly map the output parameter (GeneratedPassword) from the password generation action to the input parameter (TempPassword) of the Send Email server action.

Optional Enhancements

• Error Handling: Add error handling for cases where email sending fails. 
• Password Storage: If required, temporarily store the generated password securely (e.g., hashed) in the database to allow for verification.
• Security Best Practices:
  • Ensure the password meets complexity requirements (e.g., length, special characters, etc.).
  • Force the user to reset the password upon first login for added security.
  • Avoid logging or exposing the password in server logs.

There are already some post which discussed about it

but I think sending a temporary password is not a good idea rather then send a link to set new password with a simple code (verification code) is better solution.
