Not out of the box, but you could implement it by:

Adding a user meta on user create.

Dropping that meta on user password update.

Redirecting the user to his profile page, from anywhere else, if the user meta is around.

I've been searching for this as well. My theme presently sends out an auto password. Would like to find a way to force a password change upon first time login
