User registration

It should be straightforward, but I've got into a mess with the user registration form.

I just wanted the user to register with a User Name, email and password, then I added "first" "last" name to the form. I also have capatcha and email verification enabled.

What is happening is that after a new user registers, they correctly receive an email with their username and another email to follow the link to complete their registration. But when they enter their user name and password, it fails.

I checked in the backend - Formidable entry correctly displays the first/last name in the Name field, user name pw and email and adds the user ID as the first part of the email before the @. In the wp user entry the user ID created by the form populates the "Nickname" and "Display name publicly as" fields.

I purge All after doing tests

Any idea what Im doing wrong?

Thanks

I guess that the password is the issue. If, after the user fails to log in, they reset their password, does it work? User Registration can be a little tricky if the settings aren't exactly how you need them for your situation. When you look at user entry in the Formidable backend, do you see the actual password, e.g., "MyPassword!" or do you see something like "$%Ad12311239##$&*&*&"?
