Hi @futaba

Unfortunately, the method you were using (pointing to wp-login.php?action=register) won’t allow you to have a password field. As a workaround, you can add a password field manually like this:

<input type="password" name="user_password" value="" placeholder="Password" id="user_password" class="input" />

And then use the user_register action and wp_set_password() function to change the password like this:

add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_registration_change_pass', 10, 99 );

function myplugin_registration_change_pass( $user_id ) {

    if ( isset( $_POST['user_password'] ) )
        wp_set_password( $_POST['user_password'], $user_id );

}

Like I said before, this topic is more related to WordPress. For further support, kindly visit WordPress community instead.

I hope this helps 🙂
