Password Token Initialization Method
Email (Custom Email message) — Sends the configured text to the user's email together with a randomly generated password.
Note
The email server must be configured in the ePO - On-prem server settings.
Important
Ensure that the Active Directory includes the email attribute. If the email attribute is not available and this setting is selected for password token initialization, users must be led through a token recovery process.
Password (Default) — Assigns a default password when keys are assigned to the user's password token for the first time. The user will be forced to change this password on first logon. This is the default initialization method.
Change default password — Select this option to change the default password with a more secure initialization password, then enter a new password in the Password and Confirm fields.
No Password — Forces the user to set up a new password.

Recovery by email requires that the ePO - On-prem email server settings be configured and that Active Directory contain the user's email address.
