## Description

This plugin redirects newly-registered users to the _Admin -> Edit Profile_ page
when they first log in. Until they have changed their password, they will not be
able to access either the front-end or other admin pages. An admin notice is also
displayed informing them that they must change their password.

New administrators must also change their password, but as a safety measure they
can also access the _Admin -> Plugins_ page.
