Thank you so much for taking the time look at this again. I see that you have built the new field action for release with the next CB Auto Actions release which is great. In the meantime am I now able to create a plugin that will achieve the same effect using the current codebase? If so what trigger would it act on and what would be the general algorithm to apply?

Next release will just allow you to use a Field action to generate random passwords instead of needing to code it. I was able to successfully generate a new password on the onAfterSaveUserRegistration trigger, but that trigger is fired after emails are sent. Sorry, I don't have a solution for you.
I've added a feature ticket to add a parameter to CB it self to allow changing the length of generated passwords.

Ok hypothetically speaking what would happen if you simply removed the password field from the registration form and didn't set CB to generate passwords? What would CB use for the password?

In that case CB will ignore your settings of not using generated passwords and force it on to generate a password. For now I recommend just modifying core code. Next release hopefully should have the parameter for you to easily change the generated password length.

Ok, latest nightly includes a new trigger to allow deeper customization of randomly generated passwords. For your usage you're just wanting to reduce the length which you can do with the below.
Global
Triggers: onUserRandomPassword
Type: Code
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Action
Method: PHP
Code:Parameters
Reference Variables: Variable 2
The new trigger is as follows.
var1 being the user object and var2 is the password length. Since var2 is a reference variable the length can be altered from an auto action.
Global
Triggers: onUserRandomPassword
Type: Code
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Action
Method: PHP
Code:
$variables['var2'] = 6;Reference Variables: Variable 2
The new trigger is as follows.
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'onUserRandomPassword', array( $this, &$length ) )var1 being the user object and var2 is the password length. Since var2 is a reference variable the length can be altered from an auto action.
