Change a user password

Administrators can change a user's password from the User Management screen. For users configured with an identity provider, the password is not changed in the
CylanceON-PREM
Console. The password must be changed through the identity provider, such as through the IDP's website.
You should generate a random password when you change or reset a user's password. Do not use a generic password because the password might be in the user's password history and therefore will be prohibited.
CylanceON-PREM
saves a minimum of ten generations when it comes to a user's password.
