# Send New Password

This job was previously called: ​Send New Password to User​.

This job sends an email with a new password to the contacts in a selection. The password is randomly generated.

The contacts are selected from the system-wide databank with a mandatory selection. System users with a higher system role than the automation owner are ignored.

> The selection should not contain the addresses of API users (see). Otherwise, API calls will fail due to incorrect credentials.

> The user who receives the new password email should immediately log into Engage and change his password. For more information on choosing a complex, secure password, see [​Passwords in Mapp Engage](/v1/docs/passwords-in-mapp-engage).

## Use Case​

This job can be used to ensure that system users change their password on a regular interval (for example, every 90 days).

## Basic Settings​

| **​Name​** | This input field defines the name of the automation. The name is used to identify the automation in the system. It appears on the ​Time-based Automations Overview​ window. The maximum length is 100 characters. |
| --- | --- |
| **​Description​** | This input field defines a description of the automation. The description makes it easier to identify the automation in the system. |
| **​Job​** | This input field defines the job. For a list of all available jobs, see [All Available Time-Based Jobs​](/v1/docs/all-available-time-based-jobs). |

## Define Selection​

- **Selection**: This drop-down list defines a selection. A selection filters contacts according to defined conditions. Use the ![](https://cdn.document360.io/554b9b98-6720-4d8b-9919-c7b203d72648/Images/Documentation/224e3f6a-7008-49e9-98d0-aa050e32353f.png) symbol to search all selections in the system. Only the contacts in the selection receive a new password. The system does not automatically filter out contacts who do not have a system role for using the Engage system.

## Schedule

| ​**Schedule** | This button saves your changes and opens the ​Schedule Time-based Automation​ window. Here you define the date and time of execution. For more information, see [Schedule Time-Based Automation (window)​](/v1/docs/schedule-time-based-automation-window). |
