Summary	0011076: Password on registration
Description	There should be a configuration option to let users set their password at sign up so they do not have to wait for an email to login. On my server, sometimes it takes a while to get the email sent so I would like to let users select a password as they register. If there is already an option to do this, I apologize, and please let me know. Thanks.
Steps To Reproduce	Go to sign up form.
Tags	No tags attached.
