• I work with a lot of off shore developers so am always setting up new users.

    Very rarely, in fact I cant recall any time at all, does this go smoothly.

    The ‘suggested’ wordpress password never works – i am not even sure why the option is there.

    Is there a plugin that handles usernames in a nicer way than the default wordpress set up?

  • I can’t imagine that process being that troublesome or difficult.

    Maybe, you could set a few up ahead of time so you’ll know the username and password works… then it would be just a matter of sending the new developer a username/password pair that you know works and then permission ‘up’ the role to whatever they needed.

    Or you could even have them register as a user with the username/password they chose and promote that role as needed.

    Any dev that has too much trouble logging in might be a good candidate to avoid if you know the username/password pair works in the first place. Though I’ve experienced issues receiving username/passwords myself.

    If your username/password pairs are faulty (after ruling out fat fingers and extraneous or wrong characters) you’ll probably want to fix that first. A separate plugin would just make that process worse.

    You might create the username/password pair using a less stringent password as a low permission role and only promoting that user after the dev changes the password himself. Again, if he can’t create a stronger password and make it work then maybe you don’t want him in there anyway.

    And the minute they are done… zap them or demote.

    Can you explain more your issues with user registration? Are you creating the users or are the developers signing up in your site?
