.. _howto/auth/firstuse:
==================================================
Let users choose a password when they first log in
==================================================
The **First Use Authenticator** lets users choose their own password.
Upon their first log-in attempt, whatever password they use will be stored
as their password for subsequent log in attempts. This is
the default authenticator that ships with TLJH.
Enabling the authenticator
==========================
.. note:: the FirstUseAuthenticator is enabled by default in TLJH.
#. Enable the authenticator and reload config to apply the configuration:
sudo tljh-config set auth.type firstuseauthenticator.FirstUseAuthenticator
sudo tljh-config reload
Users who are currently logged in will continue to be logged in. When they
log out and try to log back in, they will be asked to provide a username and
password.
Users changing their own password
=================================
Users can change their password by first logging into their account and then visiting
the url ``<your_server_ip>/hub/auth/change-password``.
Allowing anyone to log in to your JupyterHub
============================================
By default, you need to manually create user accounts before they will be able
to log in to your JupyterHub. If you wish to allow **any** user to access
the JupyterHub, run the following command.
.. code-block:: bash
tljh-config set auth.FirstUseAuthenticator.create_users true
tljh-config reload
Resetting user password
=======================
The admin can reset user passwords by *deleting* the user from the JupyterHub admin
page. This logs the user out, but does **not** remove any of their data or
home directories. The user can then set a new password by logging in again with
their new password.
#. As an admin user, open the **Control Panel** by clicking the control panel
button on the top right of your JupyterHub.

#. In the control panel, open the **Admin** link in the top left.

This opens up the JupyterHub admin page, where you can add / delete users,
start / stop peoples' servers and see who is online.
#. **Delete** the user whose password needs resetting. Remember this **does not**
delete their data or home directory.

If there is a confirmation dialog, confirm the deletion. This will also log the
user out if they were currently running.
#. Re-create the user whose password needs resetting within that same dialog.
#. Ask the user to log in again with their new password as usual. This will be their
new password going forward.
