Set Default Password for All New Users in Wordpress

I currently have a Wordpress site that requires an admin to approve a user after registration. However, when the admin is notified that someone has signed up and goes to assign them a password in the Users section, the user gets notified their password has changed before the confirmation email with the new password is set.

In order to prevent this from happening I was hoping to automatically have an assigned password for all new Wordpress users (either approved or waiting to be approved).

A more secure way might be preventing that confirmation email from going out before I initially assigning the user a password. But I have a feeling this might be tricky.

Is it possible for me to assign all new approved users the same password without having to change it in the database?

you can use this filter to set the default password for each new user

add_filter( 'wp_pre_insert_user_data', function ($data, $update) {
  if ($update) return $data;
  $data['user_pass'] = 'defaultpass';
  return $data;
}, 99, 2);
