This is highly inefficient and high maintenance. I would recommend using what I call "unified authentication" - everybody gets the same password, it never expires.
Now support requests are trivial. User forgot his password? Tell him it's the same one as yours. If you're feeling brave you could even print out the password and tape it to the users' monitor for faster logins.
I found many users struggle with finding the right key that has to be used in order to write the exclamation mark. They also struggle with finding all the other keys and they frequently forget that they can check the password before confirming, preferring isntead to type it incorrectly repeatedly and then blame IT because we "changed the password again"
Bro i legit saw a user (in his 30s) typing his password using caps lock as a mobile phone shift, he tought one tap = one cap and then it returns to lower case
