Hi D., Providing the passwords is something I welcome. We maintain a local database and echo the username & password in it, as well as maintain our own client to integrate our own DNS, email & hosting.
There are scenarios however where the local username & password get out of sync. If the registrant logs in to their account on manage.opensrs.net & changes the password, your local information will be out of date. If the client logs in via your site & changes their password while a domain in their account is in transfer, when the domain completes, it will have the password at time of order. I always found it awkward to have to send the client an email with their password & have to ask they ehco this back. Also makes for more support work that could be avoided. Doug.
