Deprecation of Default Password Management Feature in 2025
The Default Password Management feature is targeted for deprecation in 2025. The final date will be confirmed with the November ’24 Release.
Setting a default password for new users is generally not considered a secure and good practice due to several security risks and potential issues:
Customers should not implement new processes or solutions that use Default Password Management features.
Alternatives to Default Password Management
- New users can complete the "Forgot Password" process to set a new password first before logging-in first time to Cornerstone.
- Administrators create a default password and share the password with the individual users (offline process).
- Implement a Single-Sign On (SSO) solution using a 3rd party identity provider to manage user accounts.
