Many users like to control their passwords and so wish to select
them themselves (usually so that they can use the same password in
many places, but that's another matter).  Using this patch forces
such users to subscribe, confirm their subscription and _then_ go
log in with their assigned password to change it to their
preference.  

I don't see the point in being that righteous about what other
people use for their passwords.
