Hi Anthony,
Thanks for helping me solve this problem!
OK, the problem is that you generate the password twice -- once when
> creating the form and again when processing it.
I don't understand why I generate the password twice, I thought, this line
generates the password:
password=generate_password(name,now)
this line creates the form:
form=SQLFORM.factory(db.auth_user,ignore_rw=True,submit_button='Register',separator='',formstyle='bootstrap')
however, it generates the password and creates the form.
and this line processes the form:
if form.process(keepvalues=False).accepted:
but it generates the password and processes the form. Is that what you mean?
> Because you actually include the password field in the form (as readonly)
By setting ignore_rw, prepopulating it (form.vars.password=password) and
setting form.element('#no_table_password')['_readonly']=True?
the original password gets submitted with the form and inserted in the
> database.
The one that prepopulates the field, is inserted here:
db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user._filter_fields(form.vars))?
> However, the password that gets sent in the email is the one generated the

Does that mean this line of code:
password=generate_password(name,now)
is being executed again, when I submit the form? I thought that when I
submit the form the function would execute from:
if form.process(keepvalues=False).accepted:
and that only the code after this line was being evaluated. But the form
isn't being re-pre-populated?

I'll give it a try!
Also, note that by including the password field in the form and simply

The only one who has access to this function is the user with membership
'admin', and that's only me, hence the ignore_rw.
However, I'll take your advise, because in the future I probably won't be
the only admin, does # indicates a form submission mean
that if request.post_vars comes after if
form.process(keepvalues=False).accepted: but before:
db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user._filter_fields(form.vars))
