    Two PW issues

    1. After Import, I can not see the Password Field listed.

    2. You state that, if there are no PW cols in Import, your app would generate PWs; but there are no details re the algorithm or parameters of such PW (and maybe, given the above, it doesn’t actually work)

    The algorithm used to create the password is the same used by WordPress, in fact we use the core function.

    In fact that password is not displayed and the only place where you can get it is in the email that is sent to each user, if you include it there.

    In any case, it is not recommended to see or send passwords, it is much better to register users associated with emails and then they ask to retrieve the password.

    As you can read in the code, this is the function used with the hooks we include to allow you to customise the parameters:

    wp_generate_password( apply_filters( 'acui_auto_password_length', 12 ), apply_filters( 'acui_auto_password_special_chars', true ), apply_filters( 'acui_auto_password_extra_special_chars', false ) );
