When I first added students via build upload/.csv, I received the option to download/print credential cards for them with logins and passwords. The passwords were far too complex for my middle schoolers to copy and type, so I changed their passwords (all unique so they cannot hijack each others’ accounts). How do I now re-generate the credential cards?

Hi @ibu.penny
We know we’ve been in touch via email, but just answering it here too incase it helps anyone else as well 
This is a good question.
Right now, it’s not possible to re-generate credential cards after student passwords have been changed. Passwords are stored securely as hashes, so the system can’t show them again.
Printable login cards can only be created right after account creation, but you can still:
-
Set custom passwords during bulk account creation.
-
Reset passwords manually if needed.
We’ve shared this feedback with our team, since we know a re-generation option would be useful!
Hi there. I encountered the same problem as manually changed all of the students passwords in a class as the passwords generated were too complex. I then spent time searching for the option to print the cards again. This is the only platform I’ve used that doesn’t allow this feature. After once again changing the passwords and keeping a record of the new passwords and then manually copying and pasting them over the original passwords in a document so I can print the credential cards for the students, I now have credential cards for that class. As I am assisting our staff to set up classes, I now have to add a couple of hundred additional students who we will want to have similar passwords for. Can you please add the instructions of how to set custom passwords during bulk account creation? After reading this forum response from your team, I tried adding a Password column to the .csv spreadsheet and had no success. Also, if I want to add an additional student or two to an existing class, if I upload the csv spreadsheet with additional student names, can you confirm that the existing students accounts will remain in the class too. I am hesitant to add additional students this way without checking.
It’s definitely a bit of a manual process once those initial cards are gone. I’ve found that keeping a separate document for student logins is often the easiest way to manage this until a reprint feature is added to the system.
