$ sfdx force:user:password:generate --targetusername ${organization}
try on your machine
The command "sfdx force:user:password:generate --targetusername ${organization}" is used in Salesforce development to generate a temporary password for a user associated with a specified Salesforce organization.
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "sfdx" is the Salesforce CLI (Command Line Interface) command.
- "force:user:password:generate" is the specific command within the CLI that generates a temporary password for a user.
- "--targetusername" is a flag used to specify the username of the user for whom you want to generate a password.
- "${organization}" is a placeholder representing the specific Salesforce organization (username) for which you want to generate the password.
When you execute this command with the actual organization's username in place of "${organization}", Salesforce generates a temporary password for the specified user. This temporary password can be used to log in to the specified Salesforce organization, and the user will be prompted to change it upon login.
