When Registering Let Users Pick Passwords

    I understand that having users pick their passwords could be a security risk but I think in certain situations it is acceptable. All the code I see on this issue says I need to edit core files (the latest I can find is version 2.2) but I feel that is not a long run option since I would never be able to update my wordpress. Is there some kind of hook or plugin that will edit the registration code to allow users to create their own password?

  • Well, I use gravity forms in place of the default wordpress registration form.

    It can be set up to allow users to pick their own passwords. That’s how mine runs.

    Unfortunately, it’s a paid plugn which you may not be inclined to purchase…. but quite possibly you may be able to find anotehr user registration substitute plugin

    Thanks MickeyRoush, that pie-register solves my problem and adds some other cool functionality that I can use later on! Perfect ??
