  • Hi there,

    So I had a huge issue yesterday where I added one person (same login) to about 20 sites. I pasted a p/w into the p/w field.

    I finished, & he couldn’t log into most of them.

    My website coder & I figured out that it only happened when the e-mail address was already in use by another user.

    WP used to just delete the e-mail address from the fields when that happened, so when you went to save it it would tell you that you had to enter in a p/w.

    B/c that field is now hidden, it’s unclear what’s going on, hence all these issues.

    We feel the p/w shouldn’t be hidden behind the button, or there should be 2 buttons, one for generating & one for hiding.

    As it is, when I paste in a p/w it already encrypts it just before I go to save it, so the system works in that way & I don’t even see a need for a button that hides it.

    The button is also mislabeled, b/c it doesn’t show the p/w, it actually generates it instead.

    And lastly, if the e-mail you give to a user already exists, it should just delete the p/w, not generate a new one hence causing issues like I had.

    Thanks a ton 🙂
