[wp-hackers] Hacking Registration To Allow Users To Specify Passwords

[Alex Andrews]

Hello again all.

What I would really like to do is slightly tweak the registration
process. Instead of receiving their password in an e-mail, as is
common to many sites, they will register their e-mail and give a
password, then have to "confirm" this e-mail as being live at some
point in, say, the next few hours.

Is this possible? Is this going to require a major re-write or are
there things to hook into?

Regards

Alex
