Note For security reasons, password text never appears in FileMaker Pro. Always make a note of
passwords you enter when setting up accounts, then provide passwords to the appropriate users. Store
passwords in a safe place in case they’re forgotten and so they can’t be stolen.
7. Select User must change password on next login.
In most cases, an account that is shared by multiple users should not force a password change upon first
login. Instead, you should specify a password and provide it to the users who need it. Also, the privilege
set for a shared account should not permit password changes because one user could change the password
and lock out all other users who share the account.
