user creation follow up

Problem/Motivation

Hi community, sorry I can't tell if I've missed any steps and, even searching various posts, I realise that the issue is not very simple.

After creating a user and saving the user entity, the user is correctly listed with the given email, but then how does that user login and/or customise the password?

Steps to reproduce

Webform collect email
ECA create user
ECA save the entity
then?

    The first question is, why are you using a webform to create a new user and not the regular user registration process?

    But if you do it with webform, you could also add a password field in that form and ask the user to assign themselves a password.

    Or is the user created by somebody else, and not the user themselves? Then the user should be notified by email that they can go to the password reset page and request and one-time login-URL with which they can start the process of changing (or initially setting) their password.

    And a tip off-topic: if you assign an issue to yourself, it appears that you're working on it already. If you want others to work on it, you should leave the assigned field at unassigned.
