Hi,
I am new to Drupal so I might be missing some obvious option somewhere but I am having the following problem:
I have enabled the OpenID and Profile modules.
When I log in as a new user with an OpenID and get the registration screen to create a user with that identity the password fields are visible. But OpenID users don't really need passwords, so they should not be visible.
If I only have OpenID enabled, but not Profile, the password fields are not shown on the new user registration page, as I expected. So it seems that the combination of OpenID and Profile modules cause the problem. The function changes with the enabling of the Profile module.
My site runs Drupal 6.10 (upgraded from Drupal 6.9, that showed the same problem).
Have I stumbled across a bug? Or is there some feature that I should enable or tweak to hide the password fields in the situation described above?
I have taken a peek at the openid.module and from the comments in the code it looks like the original developer intended the password fields to be hidden.
