This is currently the only way that bbPress gives new users passwords. It serves a double purpose. The first is a record of a password for a user if they don’t end up changing it and second of all, it makes sure that people register with an actual email address (which stops most spam bots right there) because they have to retrieve their password from email.
If you need something, I would assume it would require a core hack unless someone can develop a plugin. Right now, I don’t think anything is in the works.

I don’t know if this plugin is listed anywhere in the forum (can’t find it), but this is a plugin that will have recent forum posts from bbPress in your WordPress blog. Sidebar or otherwise. I use it and it is a great little plugin:
Recent bbPress Discussion in WP Plugin
As well, if you want to exclude a particular forum from the list, I have a little fix. Reply if that would help you.

OK, I’ve solved the problem!
The version of PHP on my server is 4.4.4, which should be compatible with bbpress. I recalled that in my moodle installation, we hit issues that could be resolved by adding a .htaccess file with the following line:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
i.e. asking for php to be interpreted as php 5? (I’m not a php person – is that correct?).
Creating a .htaccess file with this line in it and dropping it into my bbpress folder solves the tag.php problem . . . .
ardentfrost, maybe you can help me..? I’m using the bbPress Post (0.02) by mByte, and with his plugin.. I had made a forum for the blog posts to show up, however.. I would like to make the blog posts, stay ONLY IN the “Blog Article Discussions” forum..
Instead of them showing up in the “Latest Discussions” part of the forums index page.. And just have ONLY the threads made in the forums, show in the “Latest Discussions” section of the forum.. Is there maybe something that could be done for this?
I’m basically asking to exclude one of the forums, from the “Latest Discussions” section. Thanks in advanced..

I’ve reuploaded bbpress – makes no difference.
I’ve removed plugin (display_name.php)
I temporarily renamed my_templates folder to return back to default template.
The forum now sits at http://www.learning2goblog.org/forum
Click any of the tags and it takes you to the correct page. Click on the breadcrumb to take you back to tags.php and it dies as described.
All very strange . . . .
Since Ahni was interested, and I’ve been itching to do a conversion script to see how easy/hard it can be, I figured I’d chime in. I’m not familiar with either application’s inner workings, but looking at a database and comparing — now that I can get into! 
So, technically, I’m only interested to do a direct convert based on what he wants, if I get around to it at all (don’t want to make any promises here). Anyone else would be more than welcome to modify whatever code I write later on. I can make it publically available. Should be pretty simple, I would think.
You might be able to use the integration plugins for WP and bbPress prior to the export/import to sync the users first. Then the import would work off the WP users table.

Little duplication, but since this is a sticky post, I thought I would add it here:
It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.
bbpress-integration plugin
This plugin will pull all registrations from bbPress into WordPress as well as make the login integration work properly.
If you have users in WordPress that you want to be able to login to bbPress prior to the integration, it might be worth you while to place the following plugin in your /my-plugins/ directory of bbPress.
wordpress-integration
The first plugin will work for most users, but the second is available if needed.
Thanks,
Trent

Trent, you’re so awesome!! After talking with Trent on GoogleTalk, he has helped me get this problem squashed! And, I had to slap myself twice, because I didn’t upload the bbPress Integration plugin, to my wp-content/plugins folder…
Thanks again for letting me know that Trent.. as well as the cookiedomain settings you gave above!

What about it doesn’t work? Do you get an error?
Did you install that pluign in bbPress’ my-plugins folder?
What is your Display name set to? (In your WordPress profile)
Let me see if I understand the importation scheme you’re hoping for:
1.) One-time import.
2.) Each forum “section” would be a category in WordPress.
2a.) Should a category not exist, it will be created.
3.) Replies to a topic would be created as comments in a blog entry.
4.) Tags (if any exist) would be dropped.
This is going to be simple if I even decide to possibly tackle this. I don’t use either product in production, but have messed around with both of them. The biggest question I have is about users… Obviously, you’ll have users in the forum that don’t exist in WordPress. Would each user need to be created for wordpress, or would all of the imported entries default to a specified user? This would be the hardest (in my mind) thing to figure out and handle.
I haven’t seen this WP LDAP plugin, but the answer is probably “no”.
A similar plugin would likely have to be written for bbPress.
I’m working on a bbPress exporter now. It will probably be included in the next “major” release.
I hadn’t thought about an importer from bb to WP, but I’ll see what’s possible.
If you have an “Akismet Spam” tab under pour bbPress’ “Content” admin panel and there’s no little error message there, it should be working.
The user authentication stuff is all pluggable (check out bb-includes/pluggable.php: you can override any of those functions with a plugin).
There’s some more discussion about this sort of thing here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/298
ehm … i think with a lot of work it should be doable to grab the rss-feed, re-format it and put it into the bbpress database … but i can’t do that 
Great work! That is so wicked so1o!

The URL actually is here:
wp-search-from-bbpress
Must have cut off the link as it was too long maybe?
Trent
I have written a plugin to search the wp posts from bbpress search.
you can find the details here

One thing I did extra Spencer was add the cookie information for my domain in config.php in bbPress.
$bb->cookiedomain = '.trentadams.ca';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
Maybe try that. As well, I am sure you have it already, but wp_home and wp_siteurl can’t have slashes at the end of each of them.
The bbpress-integration plugin in WordPress. All I did was edit the option to have bb_ as the prefix and even though it was listed already, I always save the option again. Superstition I guess.
The WordPress-integration plugin was just thrown in my-plugins/ forlder in bbPress. It just works.
Can you give me anything else that might help you with this one?
Trent
The profile link comes up when you are logged in. Therefore, the code is in bb-templates/login.php and bb-templates/login-form.php. They could be in my-templates/ if you edited them.
If you are talking about the code for when you view a user, the “Profile Edit Favorites” link then this is the code for profile.php in the same template directory:
<?php elseif ( $user_id == $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>
<p><?php printf(__('This is how your profile appears to a fellow logged in member, you may <a href="%1$s">edit this information</a>. You can also <a href="%2$s">manage your favorites</a> and subscribe to your favorites’ <a href="%3$s"><abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed</a>'), get_profile_tab_link( $user_id, 'edit' ), get_favorites_link(), get_favorites_rss_link()) ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
The tags are arranged vertically and I don’t know how difficult it is to change that. You could move the tags code to the bottom of the post and under the reply box, but if that isn’t what you want and want to limit to 10 tags, it might require a core hack or plugin. Neither that I can help with, sorry.
Limiting users with tagging is not something bbPress is setup to do because unless the user is marked by the system as BOZO, all members are treated equal for simplicity reasons.
