    Dear Support,
    i’m experiencing a strange effect. If I deactivate a user and then reactivate it, the password inside db change and user cannot log in anymore. I’m using the User page in WP Admin, not using wp-members api. Can I prevent this from happening?

    Thanks.
    Flavio

    If you are using moderated registration, I would recommend that you set up the plugin to allow the user to set their own password at registration (including a password field at minimum, and possibly a confirm_password field).

    When moderated registration is used and the user is emailed a password after being activated, the password is set upon activation. Configuring the plugin to have the user choose their own password at registration avoids (1) emailing a password, and (2) setting a password at activation.

    Re-activating a user is the same as activating them, which is why the password is set when you re-activate. If you configure the plugin as described above, you’ll avoid that.
