[SOLVED] Strange Password Being Mailed was created by MarlonFungai
I am getting a very strange password being mailed to the user at registration the email reads like so;

"Welcome Rodney Tagwira,
Your application has been approved by our administration team.
Your account with the following details:
Email: marlonmurahwa@gmail.com

Website Administration Team

NOTE: This email was automatically generated from gonyeti.co.zw (gonyeti.co.zw)."

The password mentioned is not the password - the actual password is 9AkxAXW2SCae and the passwords are being auto-generated by CB. Installed is CB 2.1.6 - I can't upgrade as I am afraid of breaking a great many things - CB SUBS 4.2.0+build.2018.05.24.12.21.56.2189d3d00 and Almost all the other plugins available accept group jive related plugins, none of them act on the password though. I have an Auto Action that sends an SMS with the password and another that generates an email address for the case that user doesn't enter an email address at registration (emails are optional on this site) both are working as expected and the password SMSed is correct. I am stumped as to why CB would email in this manner. Any help would as always be greatly appreciated.

Passwords become encrypted quickly during the registration process. They can only be sent as plain text in the Pending email within CB > Configuration > Registration, immediately after registration acting on onAfterUserRegistration and onAfterNewUser, after profile update if password was changed acting on onAfterUserUpdate and onAfterUpdateUser, and after login.

Ok this is the default email after registration though wouldn't send that plain text I haven't touched the email settings or text and my users don't need to confirm their email addresses.

There's 2 registration emails. Pending and Welcome, which did you add the password substitution to? Are you using randomly generated passwords?

Are you using email confirmation or approval? You're using the below default language strings?

Pending Email Subject: YOUR_REGISTRATION_IS_PENDING_APPROVAL_SUBJECT
Pending Email Body: YOUR_REGISTRATION_IS_PENDING_APPROVAL_MESSAGE

Welcome Email Subject: YOUR_REGISTRATION_IS_APPROVED_SUBJECT
Welcome Email Body: YOUR_REGISTRATION_IS_APPROVED_MESSAGE

Very strange. It should be adding the password only if the user is confirmed, approved, and using randomly generated passwords. So it should still be plaintext when either email is sent when using randomly generated passwords. Try disabling CB Auto Actions as maybe a configured auto action is causing problems.
