Providing the user their password
When you want candidates to be able to login you can provide candidates their password when they apply for the first time. When the WordPress plugin is activated for the frist time, a default document is created for New candidate applications. In English this document is called 'WordPress | New candidate application (default)'. In this document you can place «password» which gets automatically replaced with the automatic generated password for the candidate.

1. Login in OTYS as key user

2. Open the document module

3. Search for the document 'WordPress | New candidate applications' (or the equivalent in your current OTYS language)

4. Open the document and change the text to include «password». You can for example write. 'We have created an account for you. Your automatic generated password is: «password»"

5. Make sure to do a test application on your website to test if everything works.
