# WordPress generating bad passwords.

 * Hello,
 * I am having an issue with my WP site when people register. They get sent an activation
   link and then a password. The password always comes back as invalid, even with
   a copy/paste of it. I tried searching for a solution but anything with “password”
   is about protecting posts or the site in general.
 * I have tested this and duplicated it. The only way people can get in after registering
   is to click the “Lost Password” link. My URL is [http://www.massgeocachers.org/](http://www.massgeocachers.org/)
   Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
 * Scott
