# Remove force password change flag in bulk

When setting up user accounts using [HR import](/18/docs/what-is-hr-import), the **Force password change** flag may be set automatically. This could be an issue if you're creating accounts for use with single sign-on (SSO) systems. Instead of manually removing the flag from each account, you can remove the **Force password change** flag from multiple user accounts using a bulk action:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Users > Bulk user actions.*
2. Select the user accounts from which you wish to remove the **Force password change** flag.
3. Click **Add to selection**.
4. Select **Remove force password change flag** from the **With selected users** dropdown.
5. Click **Go**.
6. Click **Yes** on the confirmation screen.

You can select multiple users at once using the **CTRL** (or **CMD**) key on your keyboard.

Users can be filtered according to full name, surname, first name, email address, city/town, country, confirmed, first access, last access, last login, username, and authentication.

If you have set a custom profile field, this will also be available from the **Profile** dropdown box.
