Hi there, You are the man,

We were searching for this everywhere, they all want to increase security.
We read so much security blah blah on our way to find this site.
Ha ha ha.
We have nothing to lose on our website.
We need users to be logged in easy.
Without email.
Just for fun.
Easy password.
( Our website has a game running , user just needs a name to get credits)
Nobody wants to create an email account ( or give his actual account).
That turns 99% of our users off.
We need these 99% users.
You are our man.

Now the question:

Where do we put Your magic code?
What do we have to do to run this?
(We use wordpress since 5 days)

Ok, I can see how it might be interesting but what about the bots, that seems like risky behavior, still its something that needs to be done, registering should be intuitive.

Hey, while I'm working on it a little bit deeper, I found this function can replace some line of codes above (at least in WordPress 3, I haven't checked it in other versions):

wp_signon($credentials);

How about if you can add some more features such as:

1) captcha before new user submit the registration

2) choose as drop down menu either as subscriber, contributor, author or editor

If previously we already set as (role manager plugin) default any new user as contributor, then, they already can instantly submit their articles/messages to the blogs.

What you think man :)?

Yeah that is exactly one of the reasons I started hacking it. I know WP has the functions to do that sure no problem, its just tough learning all these new functions.

I'm sure its called wp_update_user or wp_insert_user or something like that. Just look around in the source code a bit.

Can this be used to let allready logged in users change their password without entering the wp-admin area? I'm trying to use the wordpress functionality, with my own front-end design, to display only the change password form. I'm not getting very far with my own copy-pasting :S
