   Does anyone know if there is a way to add a simple register form with only the email address feild and this then creates a new user? (In other words no username or password in the register form.)

   I tried this just now for an event related site. It's 100% hacky, but on wp_login.php, about line 298, I added a $user_login = $user_email:
   

   function register_new_user( $user_login, $user_email ) {
   	$errors = new WP_Error();
   	$user_login = $user_email;
   
   	$sanitized_user_login = sanitize_user( $user_login );

   This makes the login field data irrelevant, and replaces with the email address. Then, it sanitazes and continue with the registration process.
   Then, you should remove or hide the user_login text field
   I'm not sure if it's the best way to do it, but it works for now.

   It's important to note that I made this form not available for the general public, it just for event organizers.
