The errors looks to relate to the password. It could be the password you are sending over is too long and needs to be shortened before being sent to Web Wiz Forums.

Web Wiz Forums only stores the password, so if you ever remove the integration with your own website your users can login directly to Web Wiz Forums. You could therefore send a short random string as the password for your users to the API. Just make sure that the random string is not the same for each user.

Thank you Bruce, your suggestion about password too long led me to the cause. For some reason the hashed password was sent through.
I've solved the issue. Thanks a lot.

One last question Bruce if I may.
The forum now works ok, I see a lot of guest users connected, which I suppose are kind of robots as the forum is not yet even indicized.
I'd like to make sure they cannot access the site. Is there a way to stop registration without mod approval?
Or even better, I see there's the possibility to disallow new registrations. I actually wouldn't need new registrations, as only members of my main site can have a forum account, but if I block new registrations, does it also block them with the automated API registration?
Thanks for help.

That's great to hear you have it working. 

When using the Member API you should 'Suspend New Registrations' and set the 'Suspended Registration Redirect' pointing to the URL of your own member registration page. This is done through the 'Registration Settings' page in the forum admin area.

This way anyone coming across your forum who wants to become a member will need to signup to your own website and not directly to the forum.
