Thanks, Eric. I hate it when people send me a "congrats, you're signed
up, and your password is BLAAAH" email -- it shows me they just don't
get it, and absolutely, it puts all of my other accounts at risk.

I meant more of "email a reset password link" to users. Then again, your
approach might be better because people can navigate to the site on
their own rather than trusting a link in an email (which could be
phishing them, technically). Would you agree?
