Login Actions
Force user to update password on next login. This is a security precaution. It lets you create all extensions with a generic password (such as the extension number), which lets the extension owner easily log in for the first time. But then it forces that person to create a new password before continuing to use the software.
Force user to confirm language on next login. If you are not sure which language this extension prefers to use, force the owner to choose a language the next time he or she logs in. This way, extension owners can decide for themselves which language to use, and you know that they made a deliberate choice.
