URGENT: %password% not working

[Stephen De Lange]

I cant get passwords to show in my activation email, it just shows blank, generate password works, but I need to be able to display the password they entered.

Hello Stephen,

Accessing original password is only available in user registration email by using %password% placeholder.
Because, for security reason, WordPress doesn’t store the password in plaintext. So we can not access plaintext password on user activation email.

However, it is possible to generate a new password and email them with activation email. To do so, use %generated_password% on activation email.

Thanks.
