Hi everybody,

I tried user register process and discovered that if you let an empty string in "password" and "confirm password" inputs (user account), a new user is created in the database.

Is there any way to make new users enter a non-null string in the form ?

Thanks for help.

Try

- using Javascript to validate an entry
- make the system generate a password for the user (see site.ini for the setting and change it in your site.ini.append file in /settings/overrides/

Add this to site.ini.append.php:

[UserSettings]
GeneratePasswordIfEmpty=false

eZ then requires the user to enter a password, rather than generating one behind the scenes.
