*Details* +
14+
In 8.0, we're deprecating the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool. To
15+
manually reset the password for the `elastic` user, use the
16+
{ref}/reset-elastic-password.html[`elasticsearch-reset-elastic-password`] tool. To
17+
change passwords for other users, use either {kib} or the {es}
18+
{ref}/security-api-change-password.html[change passwords API]. We will remove the
19+
`elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool in a future release.
20+
21+
*Impact* +
22+
When starting {es} for the first time, passwords are generated automatically for
23+
the `elastic` and `kibana_system` users. If you run the
24+
`elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool after starting {es}, the command will fail
25+
because the password for the `elastic` user is already configured.
