I have my registration set to 'Require User Activation". This works well(ish). Users register, receive an email, click on the link and then have to log in with their username and password.

I'd like to take one step out of this process to make the UX better and have the user automatically logged in after they click on the link in the email. What code changes would I need to make to do that?

Hello John,

I don't think that would be an easy "hack" and even if you hack it, it would be impossible unless the URL contains the username and password. Passwords are stored in a 1 way hash and there's no way you can automate a user's login without supplying a proper username / password (Unless you create an authentication plugin)
