I am configuring my site so that registration is not allowed because I import the users I wish to register through a custom form. I am basically importing users from another database that was connected to a different application so I don't want to force users to register all over again. However, I would like to require them to change their password at first login. Do you know how I may accomplish that without having to purchase a module?

In the DNN database is a table called "Users" with a field named "Updatepassword". If you want to require every user in the portal to update their password you can run an SQL query like this: Update Users Set UpdatePassword=1 If you want to limit the users to a specific portal, or other criteria let me know.

Along the same idea, how could I force a newly created user to add a question and answer during their first login?
