I hadn't really thought it out that far to be honest, lol. I've just always had a thing with passwords never being anywhere except locked up in a database. (If anybody were to hack one of our email accounts, they would never find any passwords to other services) Just my opinion that passwords shouldn't be transmitted anywhere except from an input field then to a database.

Maybe your mod can add a second phase to the registration.

Possibly after entering their username and email address, they would be directed to a single page where they would then enter their new desired password, at which time I think it would be great that once the password is submitted, the user then be sent a confirmation link via email just like the standard vb registration.

Honestly I'm digging the simplicity of registration and visual design of this mod, I'm sure it would jump sign up conversions, but I feel it's a little 'too' simple, a lot less secure.

If you decide to work out a solution to the password, retaining email confirmation for members, installation would be strongly considered for me. And of coarse, the ability to add a 'secret question' to the registration form (this one modification has had the most effective results for me and spam prevention), this would make it a no brainer for me.
