Good Day,

I am using GeoDirectory with setting > ‘Allow user to choose own password’ set as NO.

How do I get UsersWP to acknowledge this setting so the system generates a password for new users and sends it via email.

Also, I am enforcing strong passwords on WordPress. Does UsersWP adhere to these settings I have set up?

Kind regards,

Go to UsersWP > Form Builder and set the password field to inactive.

How are you enforcing strong passwords? Are you using a plugin? The only way to find out would be to do some testing yourself. Let us know.

Thanks

Hi Guust,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tested and the password seems to be generating strong passwords via Better WordPress Security plugin.

Many thanks.

Just to clarify.

UsersWP sent an activation link before which included an activation key. This key is no longer being sent in the email which contains the password.

I suppose it is trivial to include both the key and the password but could be an added extra.

I am guessing that the creation of the system-generated email activates the user, so an activation link will result in some error. I’ll get the developer to check my answer. Thanks

Yes Guust is correct!

Actually, the activation email will be sent if you have not disabled password field from the form builder. If you have disabled the password field, it will register a user and send the login details in the mail.

Thanks for noticing this. We will fix this in next release.

Regards,
Patrik
