This helps to limit automated account creation attempts (by bots). This configuration can be accessed via the main Drupal navigation menu following the links for Administer -> User settings.

On the 'User settings' page you'll notice that some of the content of the e-mail templates are tokenized, including place holders such as "!username" and "!password." These tokens are replaced with user specific values before e-mails are sent. It is important to remove any occurrence of "!password" token to prevent user passwords being sent via e-mail. Without the password users must utilize a time sensitive link in order to activate their account or change their password.

You can install and utilize the Password Strength module (http://drupal.org/project/password_strength) in order to require that users select strong passwords

Though one would think the $field object is what we wanted-- the actual object we needed is $row (even though we're only looking at one field in the row). Put the following into the field tpl file to see what the necessary info is: <?phpprint '<pre>';print_r($row);print '</pre>';?> Then, to actually make the link, put the following in your field tpl file: <?php$account = user_load($row->uid);print l($row->profile_values_profile_fullname_value, 'users/' . $account->name);?> Change 'profile_values_profile_fullname_value' to the proper field alias (based on the $row output). Also, be sure to change 'users' to whatever the path is for your user accounts. I also had another thought-- given your use case, you may want to consider the http://drupal.org/project/realname module as well. It will replace usernames with whatever field(s) you designate all over the site. EDIT: I had another thought. I'm not sure of the performance implications of doing a user_load in the template file. Another option is to add the 'User: name' field to the view but exclude it from display. Then you could avoid the user_load and change the code in the tpl file to: <?phpprint l($row->profile_values_profile_fullname_value, 'users/' . $row->users_name);?>
