Looking for research on automated, temporary passwords for new users

Hey all, have any of you had successful experiences with automated, temporary passwords being generated during the user sign up process?

I didn't read anything about this in  Luke Wroblewski's work and am looking for some insight. Our demographic is composed of many people in their 50's and 60's. I am looking to increase the ease of the signup process.

Hi Alice,

Last year I published a paper titled "User-Centered Design, Activity-Centered Design, and Goal-Directed Design: A Review of Three Methods for Designing Web Applications."

The paper gives an overview of each method's foundations, processes, and key deliverables.

I'd be glad to send you a copy.

I didn't realise I had multiple subscriptions either. Perhaps those who don't realise they've been added to the jobs list could see a different footer in job posts.

Are you saying I've done something wrong?
