Confirmation with actual password

    I just want to know if it is possible to get the activation confirmation e-mail to include the actual password instead of “Your selected password at signup”

    I found this string in the translation file
    Welcome to %1$s!

    Your username is:%2$s and password:%3$s
    where %3$s is replaced by “Your selected password at signup”

    Is there any way to change this to the actual selected password.

    I think that’s a wordpress itself thing.

    Since version 2.0.6 we changed the way passwords are stored in the wp_signups table when email confirmation is active.

    No we store it as a password hash to improve security.

    This means that it can’t be retrieved to send in the email the user gets after activation.
    We realize that it is a bug right now and the email shouldn’t contain the “password:” string and that it would be preferable to send the password in the first activation email ( the one that contains the activation link)and will look into fixing that in a future update.
