[wp-hackers] Default User Setup

[Terrence Wood]

I think Micheal's is making a point from an interaction design POV. Most 
people are going to change the password, so why not let them do it from 
the outset rather than making them reconfigure the password, or create 
an additional account once logged in.


If people are going to use easy passwords then it makes sense to allow 
them to create the default login name something other than 'admin', 
which has got to be, without doubt, the most easy to guess login name 
around.

Changing my login name from admin to something I prefer is usually the 
first thing I do through phpmyadmin... but not everyone has the skill to 
do that.
