It hasn't been updated in a long time but it works! Interface: Could be better. Dialogs: Alarmist, but for obvious reason - Don't mess up when changing passwords! Features: Does what it says though the log option doesn't appear to work. I came here to change all the passwords of a specific user role and kick butts, and I'm all out of passwords to change. 😉 Thank you!

Effective and useful plugin, but as others have indicated, the setting descriptions and content for the email is horrible. Lots of grammatical mistakes and the language is not generic enough -- it suggests the password is reset due to "violation issues."
