Do new users really have to click Forgot Passwords to set it?
If they set it with the wordpress link they are forced to see the WP backend...
How can I set a default password for Amelia accounts?
Or is there a direct link in Amelia I can add to the notification settings so they are alerted they can reset the password via the Amelia account settings?
Customers can set their own password in the Customer panel this way - you need to provide a Customer panel link in the email notifications (you need to add a placeholder for the panel to the email notifications in Amelia). So when customers book an appointments for the first time they will get the link for the panel in their email notification, and when they click on it they will need to set a password for them , and later on they can use that email/password to login to the panel. This is when the option Require password for login in Amelia -> Settings -> Roles Settings is enabled.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask.
Customers get email from WP if the option Automatically create Amelia Customer user in Amelia -> Settings -> Roles Settings -> Customer is enabled, so they are automatically created as Amelia customers in WP as well. So, if you don't want this just disable this and if you setup the customer panel, they will have access to it only.

My new customers are getting an email with a link to set their password on the wp-admin page. Is this how the customer panel is supposed to work?
This is giving them access to my back-end wp website, which I don't want.
