password treatment trend

[redzzzon]

Hi

I notice sites with php technology send the password to the user e-mail. The best reason to send e-mail to a users e-mail is that it prevents browsers from burdending the system with registration by making sure the user has an e-mail. Unless the person has many e-mails the user will not be able to create multiple accounts. Are their other reasons for sending a new user their password.

I decied to go this route today. I am going to write up the code and if I have problems I will ask for help. Nevertheless, if there is script you can paste to use please do so.

Thanks

Tom

Its not actually sites with PHP theres JSP, ASP etc sites that do it as well.

I prefer that I didnt get an email with my Password in it, I feel insecure if that was the case, although it does help remember it (however that is why Lost Password functions were created).

There are a few sites that do send me my password when I sign up some even send it again in Newsletters (well did anyway made sure my account was deleted quick smart).

By all means if you feel its required do so, otherwise you will find some users like myself will not like it, and may leave.
