Description Leinad 2010-12-26 00:59:43 UTC 
During creating new account via option "By e-mail", MediaWiki generates wrong password.

Temporary solution on this problem is go to the [[Special:UserLogin]], write Username and click "E-mail new password".

Leinad, can you describe exactly what you mean by "generates wrong password"? It would be helpful to include the exact sequence of events to follow, and the exact error or response messages that you get for each step.
Comment 4 Leinad 2010-12-27 11:10:33 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in as "normal" user (anons can't create new account via option "By e-mail").
2. Go on [[Special:UserLogin]], click link "Create an account".
3. Enter only 2 fields: "Username:" and "E-mail:", and then click button "By e-mail".
4. Receive e-mail with a randomly generated password.
5. Go on [[Special:UserLogin]] and enter new username and generated password, log in.
6. Software will show message "Incorrect password entered. Please try again."

Please fix this bug^.

PS If you want regain access to a new account, on [[Special:UserLogin]] enter username and click button "E-mail new password" - software in this case will generate correct password.
