how can we disable wp_generate_password function

Answer 1

For inexperienced users can be annoying/confusing to see auto-generated password on first screen. Add the following code to the wp-content/themes/your_current_theme/functions.php to disable this function.

add_filter( 'random_password', 'disable_random_password', 10, 2 );

function disable_random_password( $password ) {
    $action = isset( $_GET['action'] ) ? $_GET['action'] : '';
    if ( 'wp-login.php' === $GLOBALS['pagenow'] && ( 'rp' == $action  || 'resetpass' == $action ) ) {
        return '';
    }
    return $password;
}
