Force Password Change for newly created users?

Let's say we're working on a script to import users -- we create the users in MODX, and we can send out an email with instructions to the new users of how to login. How can we force a password change for these newly created users? I'm imagining that some bad-guy intercepts the email and uses it to hijack the user login, or more likely, the user gets lazy and never changes the password that we send them.

Is there a way to set a temporary password for MODX users and require them to change it during the next login?

You can try the Forced Password Change module: http://modx.com/extras/package/forcedpasswdchange and on github https://github.com/bertoost/MODX-ForcedPasswdChange

I have the same issue. It seems forcedpasswordchange extra doesn't work with 2.6-PL
IS there another way to do this now in 2017 on MODX 2.6-PL
IS there maybe someclever Extra developer that created a nice User-management suite for MODX

?
