By default, new scratch orgs contain one admin user with no password. Use this command to generate or change a password for this admin user. After it’s set, you can’t unset a password, you can only change it.
You can also use the –on-behalf-of flag to generate a password for a scratch org user that you’ve created locally with the “org create user” command. This command doesn’t work for users you created in the scratch org using Setup.
To change the password strength, set the –complexity flag to a value between 3 and 5. Each value specifies the types of characters used in the generated password:
3 - lower and upper case letters and numbers only
4 - lower and upper case letters and symbols only
5 - lower and upper case letters and numbers and symbols only
To see a password that was previously generated, run “org auth show-user-password”.
