Remove Password Field
ProBy default, every registration form asks new users to create their own password. With the Auto Password Generation feature, you can skip this step entirely. Once enabled, User Registration & Membership automatically generates a secure password for each new user and sends it to their email address after they sign up.

This is a great option if you want a faster, simpler sign-up experience for your visitors, or if you prefer to control password strength and format yourself instead of leaving it up to the user.
This feature is available only in the Pro version of User Registration & Membership.

Explain Individual Options
Activate Auto Generated Password
Enabling this option removes the password and confirm password fields from the front-end registration form. Instead, the plugin creates a strong, random password for each new user behind the scenes.
This option is found under Form Settings → Advanced for each individual form, so you can choose to enable it on some forms and leave it off on others.
You do not need to manually delete the password or confirm password fields from your form. Once this option is turned on, those fields are automatically hidden from view.

Closing Section
After completing the above steps, your registration form will no longer show password fields to new users. Instead, they'll receive their login credentials directly in their inbox, making the sign-up process quicker and easier. You can further personalize this experience by editing the registration email content under Email Settings.
