Hello,


Is it possible to disable the change password option for students in their profile?  Also, can we disable the "lost your password" link on the login page?


Thanks for the look in and help!

Site administration > plugins > Manage authentication

Find 'forgottenpasswordurl' further down the page and put a link in there to a static HTML page (or even a Moodle page resource on the front page). 

Explain your password policy on that page. 

That's it. Solves both issues.

Hi Howard,
great tip!
Would you mind to add something to Moodle Docs too?

I was posting https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Roles_FAQ#How_can_I_prevent_a_user_from_changing_their_own_password.3F before seeing your post covering both the questions - I just read the subject of the post before reading the actual message blush.

TIA,
Matteo
