django-allauth password in email confirmation

Question

I need send the password in the email confirmation after user signs up. How can I include the raw password in the context? Is it secure to pass password this way?

Answer 1

Why would you need to do that? It is very bad practice. If the user has forgotten their password, they can change it by receiving an email with a link.

Answer 2

You should never share or store passwords in plain text because you enable anyone to read them. In addition to that, email is not a trusted channel to send sensitive information, so sending a plain text password in an email is not secure.
