 There are a few things about WordPress' handling of passwords that annoy
 me.

 ==Default Password==

 When WordPress is installed, a random password is created.  It would be
 nice if the user, upon logging in for the first time, was prompted to set
 their own password.

 ==Password Reset==

 Resetting a password takes too many steps.  There are two e-mail
 verification steps, when one would do.  Once the initial verification link
 is clicked, the user should be provided with the new password (on the
 page, not just in an e-mail.)  They also could be provided with a "set
 your password" form allowing them to set the password to something they'll
 remember, so they're not doing this again the next time they want to blog
 from the library.
