Problem Description:
Hi there,

We are losing alot of people on our board due to password problems. We have checked the error logs and this seems to be a big issue, alot of the users receive their password and cannot log on to the board. Now they email us and we check and sometimes have the same problem.

The thing is, they get annoyed and then probably will never use our site due to this, people hate anything complicated.

Is there any way we could have simplier passwords??? as this would make it so much easier for the users to be able to use the board. I cant really see a security issue, as people can change there password to what they want when they log in.

Please help as we are losing alot of users to the system.

Thanks


Barry

Why not just disable 'Email Random Password to New Member Upon Registration?' and let them choose their own passwords when they register if that's what you want?
