[K12OSN] print usernames and passwords

[Will Hatch]

I do assign them, by student id#.  It has worked out well, and most of the kids have them memorized already.  I just was wondering if there was a way to list and print them, for my substitute folder.  Thanks for the help everyone. -Will

I'm with Huck.  We assign our passwords....this makes password management
with kids a whole lot easier.  Less forgotten passwords....and so forth. 
TOO much time is wasted with username and pw issues in that manner, when
we moved to assigning passwords a few years ago (from having the kids do
their own)....we saw a HUGE drop in the amount of username/pw issues ("I
forgot my password").  also...having a static list allows you to easily
use the same username and passwords in other places/scenarios  (plus you
also get to make "secure" passwords....not things like the name of their
dog)
