Force password reset

Question

Hello,
is it possible to force a user to reset/change their password the next time they log into the site?
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

I just copied this code and created a plugin locally and it worked for me ... however this code only runs for B2B customers so if you are testing as manager it won't do anything.
The line
if (act.AccountType == "B")
means to only execute the inner code if the customer is B2B, if you wanted to change it to B2B or B2C then use this
if (act.AccountType == "B" || act.AccountType == "C")
If you need this to run for internal users like manager then use "I" for the account type. If you want it to run for everyone then remove the "if" statement altogether along with the enclosing brackets.
I mentioned this before but if you are running this as a plugin then you need to add code so you don't get into an infinite loop so change
if (!IsPostBack)
to
if (!IsPostBack && System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.GetFileName(bp.Request.Path) != "changepassword.aspx")
so the code execute on all pages except the changepassword page.
Here's the full code that I am using
void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
        NPBasePage bp = (NPBasePage)Page;
        if (!IsPostBack && System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.GetFileName(bp.Request.Path) != "changepassword.aspx")
            NPAccount act = new NPAccount(bp.AccountID);
            if (act.AccountType == "B" || act.AccountType == "C")
                NPUser usr = new NPUser(bp.UserID);
                if (usr.LastPasswordChangeDate == DateTime.MinValue)
                    bp.Response.Redirect("~/common/user/changepassword.aspx");
