====== Configuration Setting: autopasswd ======

DokuWiki supports two methods of password handling after a new user has been registered or when a user resets it password(password reset sents always a mail).  The setting of this configuration variable determines which method is used:

  - automatically generated passwords (''1'')
    * The user specifies their email address and DokuWiki generates a password and sends it to him. To use this method, set ''autopasswd'' to ''1''.  (You can configure the "From" email address used for all mails sent through DokuWiki via the [[config:mailfrom]] setting.)
  - user defined passwords (''0'')
    * The registration form contains two fields where the new user can type in their desired password. No email is sent. To use this method set, ''autopasswd'' to ''0''.

  * Type: Boolean
  * Default: ''1''
