This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

    But you are supposed to change that generated password as soon as you use it to login. Now I have no idea about these forums, but you’d expect the software to enforce that need to change

      It’s still stupid because people reuse password. They shouldn’t, but they do. If it’s one time login, make it a token. There’s zero reason to ever email a password, period
