Require Password

When a member joins using the web interface, ListManager can ask the person to pick a personal password. A personal password is useful for mailing lists where security is important. If no password is defined for a user, then other people can enter the web interface as that person by typing in their email address. Requiring each user to have a personal password adds considerable security to your mailing list.

This option allows you to require a password, to make the password optional or to not ask for a password at all.

Note: If you allow joining by email and you set Require Password to "yes", ListManager will generate a random password for members who subscribe by email and send it to them. These randomly generated passwords consist of a noun-adjective pair.
