Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:41119 jamiefryatt]:
 > Basically i found that the plugin wanted to use wp_generate_password,
 but couldn't and was throwing a 500 fatal error... I did some debugging
 and found that in the wp-settings.php file, the pluggable.php and its
 depreciated version were loading after the plugins.

 Just wanted to note that this is intentional, to let any plugin to
 override any of the functions in `pluggable.php`.

 This seems quite similar to #21612. The plugin in question most likely
 tried to use the function before WordPress was fully initialized. It
 should use an appropriate hook instead, see comment:2:ticket:21612 for
 more details.
