Password change when the user login first time

Question

I have a "change password" page.

Is there a way to redirect that page when the user login first time using wordpress generated password?

Thanks

Maybe this helps you?

He seems to had a similar problem and solved it a year ago.

What he does different to your approach is redirecting 48hrs after registration. Maybe this is enough?

If not - I'm looking to do it your way.

Okay I just made a plugin what does exactly what you want:

/*
 Plugin Name: Redirect Passwort
Plugin URI: TODO
Description: TODO
Author: xaeDes
Version: 0.1

*/

function redirect_passwort_profile_update($user_id, $old_user_data) {
    $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
    if( $user->data->user_pass != $old_user_data->user_pass) {
        //password has changed
        update_metadata("user",$user_id,"changed_password",true);
    }
}
add_action("profile_update", "redirect_passwort_profile_update", 10, 2);

function redirect_passwort_login_redirect($redirect_to, $url_redirect_to = '', $user = null) {

    if( isset($user->ID) ) {
        $changed_password = get_metadata("user", $user->ID, "changed_password",true);
        if( $changed_password != true ) {
            return get_bloginfo('url') . "/change-your-password-dude/";
        } else {
            return $redirect_to;
        }
    }
}
add_filter('login_redirect', 'redirect_passwort_login_redirect',10,3);

function redirect_passwort_password_reset( $user ) {
    //password has been reset to a random one. so the changed_password meta data should be reset as well
    if( isset($user->ID) ) {
        delete_metadata("user", $user->ID, "changed_password");
    }
}
add_action('password_reset', 'redirect_passwort_password_reset');

It adds a user meta data "changed_password" to the user who changed its passwort.

When logging in it checks whether the user meta data "changed_password" is set and redirects if it is not set (and therefore the user has not changed its passwort even once).

When the users password is reset to a random one, the user meta data "changed_password" is reset as well.

Hook user_register and add user metadata to store a "has not logged in yet" flag. Hook wp_login and check for that metadata, delete and redirect if it exists, otherwise do normal login behavior.
