Hi,

When creating users the password is also sent in clear text. I have
added another new "short" page to my site for this scenario. Two
thoughts spring to mind, either encrypt the connection or set the
password to "password" and set it to be expired so that the user needs
to set a new password using the "password" function or better set it to
expired and locked.

the new page is

Thanks Ravi
kind regards

Pete
