I always use the confirmation emails in my inbox as a way to keep track of passwords I used on sites I signed up with. Sending the login credentials in a confirmation email, including the password, serves a real purpose. That’s why most websites still do it that way.

I understand there are security objections to sending out passwords, but I am not running a banking site. Making it easier for members to access my site is a higher priority. Not being able to send them the password in a confirmation email is very annoying.

Also, if you run a community that actually does stuff, like organize events, you want to send new members a friendly welcome mail with some practical info. Why the hell disable the welcome email as a “core feature”?!
