Is there a way to make to password invisible in ALTER USER statement ? This statement will run in cmd.
You can force the user to change the password in the next user login by expiring the existing password using sysdba.
ALTER USER username password expire;
Oracle will ask for new password when the username tries to log-in, hence the new password set will be invisible.
But you cannot make the password field invisible in the Alter statement as oracle wont know it is the password field until you enter it in the command line.
If the SQL script is interactive you can use
SQL> ACCEPT pswd CHAR PROMPT 'Password: ' HIDE
This creates a SQL parameter "pswd" which you can use in your ALTER USER statement.
If this is not an option - you might also run the script in SILENT mode to suppress any output from the session.

Inquiring if the statement after identified by is the password 'pw12334' to be applied to the account
example
Alter user username identified by pw1234 account unlock.
also inquiring if "identfied by" command alone can replace password without the "replace" command
kinda confused here, since I need to apply the password to apex.xml to make the ords 503 error go away.
the syntax to unlock the user is, the IDENTIFIED BY password is needed becuase if you unlock an account without resetting the password then the password remains expired.
ALTER USER james IDENTIFIED BY Jim123 ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
In ClickHouse, is it possible to GRANT a user for changing his own password but without allowing him to alter his privileges nor the privileges/password of other users?
If I set GRANT ALTER USER TO myuser, I will allow myuser to change the password and the privileges of all the users. And that I don't want.
As I understood the final goal is to avoid compromising/sharing a 'fresh' client password.
I would suggest storing hashed passwords instead of plain text - see for details user settings - user_name/password.
In this case,
user should send to the admin the hashed password
and admin set it up by yourself by using ALTER USER.
I created a new application in apex and by default the login page got created.
Now when i run the application, what username and password should i put to enter?
I am confused as to which table stores the login and password.
The login page has itemsfor username and password and in processes uses apex_authentication.login(username item....& password item).
So how do i figure out what my username and password is?
This is my first time trying to create an apex application.
If you didn't create any additional users, then provide your workspace's username and password.
This is very easy to achieve in SQL Developer, but somehow I cannot find this option in TOAD.
I created a new user, set him a password and now I want to force him to change the password at first logon, due to security policy. Any idea how to do that using GUI / sql statement?
Thanks,

open Toad==>Database==>Schema Browser==>swift to User==>right click Alter User
.There is a gui oponion for password expired.Hope useful to you .
I have just tried to login to my db via sql developer as system so i can create a new user. It has come with an error that the password has expired.
I have googled a bit but cannot see how to reset the system user password. I guess this is a security issue.
My problem is how can I log in as system if the password has expired? How can I unexpire the password without logging in as System users. I seem to be stuck here in a loop where I cannot reset the password expiration.
Open up cmd.exe and type in SQLPLUS
Enter user-name: SYSTEM
Enter password: the expired password
It will now let you type in a new password for the SYSTEM user
If SQLPLUS is not available, you can also reset an expired password from within SQL Developer:
Save your connection information (if not done already)
Right click on your connection
Click on the “Reset Password” option in the menu, enter old/new password blah blah blah
If someone drops by from a Google search but uses IntelliJ:
You can reset the system password in the connection properties' "Advanced" tab. There you can set the new one as a value for the oracle.jdbc.newPassword key.
