Hi Arturo et al

What version are  you using?

We're on 16.11 and using this exact scenario. In our setup:

* Online registration allows for patron to enter their own password
* Account must be confirmed using the link in the confirmation email
* The password the patron created is the one that works
* The auto-generated password (that does not work) is displayed on the 
confirmation screen along with their login

Obviously the last point is problematic, but that may simply be a setting I've 
got wrong.

self-registration

Hi Liz,

Thank you for your tip on how to access the queued e-mail messages! With that 
information, I was able to view the generated e-mail from this morning and can 
confirm what I'd suspected -- Koha will ignore the user-supplied password 
during self-registration if e-mail verification is required.

I have filed a bug for this behavior:

Hi Arturo,

While I haven't tested your scenario precisely, it's possible that the reason 
that you are having problems here is that we don't want to set a password 
before the account has been confirmed via email. A possible shortcoming of the 
feature is that it doesn't take this into account (but haven't tested it so 
don't take that as absolute truth).

Regarding the emails, you can see the registration emails and links by putting 
this report into your saved sql reports:

select to_address, content, time_queued from message_queue where
date(time_queued) = CURDATE();

Then copy/paste the link from the content into your browser.

The sandboxes don't send mail for a very good reason, to keep spammers from 
using them for evil.

Good luck, happy testing,

Liz

ps with apologies to Arturo, I didn't send this to the list and I should have, 
so sending it again.
