Hi,
I'd like to see each role's password be unique. Then, the user only enters the password they are given and they are assigned to the role associated with that password. The user doesn't need to select the role or even know the name of the role.

For example:
Role: "Viewer", password to join: "PW123"
Role: "Uploader", password to join: "abc3xyz"

A user who enters the password "PW123" is then assigned to the "Viewer" role because "PW123" is unique to the "Viewer" role.
A user who enters the password "abc3xyz" is assigned to the the "Uploader" role by it's unique association.

Neither user has to enter the name of the role to be properly assigned to that role.

Thanks
Steve

I dont know how much problems this could give to the normal functions of the module. But I honestly will not love to alter normal behaviours of the module just to implement this feature. I'll investigate...! Tnx

For a particular (multisite) installation of ours, this would be excellent. As our users don't really need to see the roles/titles, they just follow the instructions and know who they are.

Thanks for a great module.

Doing this will require a lot of changments in the code. Really it's not the purpose of this module... really sorry
