Placeholder message 'Createacct-email-ph' says: "Enter your email address" This is misleading in case of creating an account with the option "Use a temporary random password and send it to the email address specified below" Usually this is done on behalf of other users. You have to enter the email address of this user, not your own email address. Suggestion: Rephrase message to "Enter email address" or use a separate placeholder message in case the option is clicked.

Good call. This is one of a couple enhancements we'll make for account creators.
