Hi Borg.

I saw a nice feature when I was installing WordPress today on my website. They had a nice feature built into the installation routine of the software, which automatically made a random password for the admin superuser when they was finished with the install.

This way, wordpress assures that there is no way other people can hack the website due to the user not changing the premade password that came with the software.

Couldn't this be worth considering for WWF too? That way this kind of hacks can be avoided.

Cheers!
Kristoffer

Never really had an issue of people being hacked because they didn't change the default password and just incase a javascript pop-up reminds people in the latest version.
