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! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b73b48289a3df1703d14ab33c52f497c05757b3880bbc9531f12d2d91c10230f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[effective but message content is horrible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/effective-but-message-content-is-horrible/)󠁿 [lcdservices](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lcdservices/) September 3, 2016 Effective and useful plugin, but as others have indicated, the setting descriptions and content for the email is horrible.
