How to Reset a Customer Password in Magento 2?

While Magento 1 allows users to update a customer password to a particular string, this feature in Magento 2 has been eliminated. If you go to the admin panel and reset customer passwords, then Magento will require the users to generate a new password by accessing the link sent in their email.

While this is safer and more convenient, a problem can arise if your customer wants a particular password, or can’t get emails. In this guide, we’ll help you to reset a customer password in a Magento store.

This might be useful for developers if they are working on a project or development site.
