Sign-up - immediate access

Hi Tim, 

The email/password loop is a key part of the security.  If you give immediate access it would allow anyone to make up an email and gain instant access to the site (eg: spammers, etc).

What's the high level objective you're aiming for?  Or have you seen this implemented in a way you like on another site? 

Thanks!

Hey Dave. It's just really an email capture process. A blog site gives away additional arricles to registered users. We are not that fussed if those are fake users. 

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Tim, 

Trying calling this code in the header of the page after any error checking code but _before_ you output any HTML and passing it the new username and password:

loginCookie_set($username, getPasswordDigest($plaintextPassword));

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!
