Description :
Get rid of the random password email messages, allow users to set password


I created this plugin to make the user registration and password reset process more user friendly for the users of one of my less technical blogs. Essentially this plugin entirely gets rid of the temporary password that is created and send via email to new users and users resetting their passwords. Instead, new users are send a welcome email with a link they can click on to set/reset their initial password IMO, the whole temporary random password was a source of additional user busy-work without any added security or functionality, the security model for Wordpress registration is based on the possession of the linked email account - this doesn't change with my plugin, it's just now easier.
