Username/Password Save was created by jamesmcgee
I've noticed that if I enable the save and return later function, the user is emailed the username/password they select in order to save, and the username/password is sent to them in an email in an un-encrypted fashion. Both the username and password get sent in the same email.

So, I'm wondering if:
- Is there any way to not send the username password in the same email, unprotected
- Is there any way to only send them the username? (or, for that matter only the password)

Why is sending email and password in different emails to the same recipient offering more protection?
There is no simple setting to change the behavior. You might modify the php code to remove the password from the email.
