New user password

When creating a new user in the Add New form, I cant see the option to add password feild from the users table to enable admin role to set the password for new user. Is that normal?

To get around this, I am using record rule to set the password to a custom value which then allows the new user to login for the first time and to set their own password by going to the profile. Is this the best way?

Otherwise how is it possible for the new user to login for the first time if they dont have a passsword?

In our solution users are created by the admin.
We provide the email to the new user and they can set the password with the “forgot password” feature.
That works fine, but is limited to admin capacity for adding new users, or can only be done for smaller audiences.

When I create a new user, I enter their name and email. On the backend, a verification code is generated using the number pipe, which serves as a temporary password. When the user logs in for the first time, they are taken to a page where they must change their password to continue using the app.
