Changing default for update_password

Goodday,

Googling just gives me the page on the User module, but my need is to set the update_password=on_create as the default for users, as they change their passwords, but we keep the users.yml to help update keys etc. for them, though we have a “Default” initial password on creation.

How and where do I set this update_password=on_create as to not include it on each and every user’s stanza?

you could do something like:

update_password="{{item.udpate|default('on_create')}}"
