@jfigura I agree. That would be maddening in addition to confusing! The point we’re trying to make is that BP lets you set your password. That’s it. No email. Just login after you activate. When WMU sets the password, you have to wait and hope it wasn’t caught in spam and all the other associated issues. If you are receiving the email then something isn’t working correctly for you.

My own opinion is this way is much better (what are the chances you immediately forget the password you chose?) I hate it when I get generated passwords as I then have to go in and change them all over again.
