Disabling accounts or changing passwords

[pshute]

I'm still running Plone 2.03, so the answer to these questions may be
different for later versions.

I've often created members and manually assigned passwords for them, but
have only recently needed to disable a member account.  I don't wish to
delete the account or modify roles, etc.

There seems to be no way to simply disable an account.

And there seems to be no way to change a password other than to "reset"
it, which gives them a random password and emails it to them.  I guess I
need to change their email address to mine and reset the password.

Is there any other way to disable an account or change a password?

You can change user passwords directly on the Zope level. ZMI -> acl_users.

Customize the login script and introduce some kind of blacklist
holding the related user accounts that are no longer permitted tol login.

what if they log via basic auth and not cookies? :)

Thanks for that, but I don't see how to do it in acl_users.  If I select acl_users, I see a list of users.  If I select one, I see no option to change their password.

I also noticed that since I reset the user's password by the method I mentioned, all their group memberships have disappeared.  Is that normal?

Please look carefully. It obvious that you'll find the user accounts under
'source_users' and there is definitely a 'Password' link for each account
within the Plone site.
