.The `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool is deprecated.
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
In 8.0, we're deprecating the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool. To
manually reset the password for the `elastic` user, use the
{ref}/reset-elastic-password.html[`elasticsearch-reset-elastic-password`] tool. To
change passwords for other users, use either {kib} or the {es}
{ref}/security-api-change-password.html[change passwords API]. We will remove the
`elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool in a future release.

*Impact* +
When starting {es} for the first time, passwords are generated automatically for
the `elastic` and `kibana_system` users. If you run the
`elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool after starting {es}, the command will fail
because the password for the `elastic` user is already configured.

.The file and native realms are now enabled unless explicitly disabled.
