How does this verify email addresses?
It doesn't, that's the whole point (and why some people requested the plugin).
Keep in mind that by allowing this password method, users may accidentally or purposely enter incorrect email addresses.
But it's always been a security issue that passwords are emailed via plain text in many forum systems.
Won't spammers also be able to instantly register ?
- Install the Human Test plugin which will stop virtually all automated registrations and is compatible with Instant Password
How do I change the successful registration behavior?
The default action of this plugin is to immediately login the new member and direct them back to the front-page (or ?re= value if present).
You can disable the redirect by commenting out this line like so:
// bb_safe_redirect(bb_get_option('uri'));customize your
register-success.phptemplate with a better welcome message.To prevent auto login entirely, comment out this line like so:
// add_action('register_user', 'instant_password_success');
