Question

We are using custom registration process in magento to register user. First step customer will register himself on the site and send a application receive an email to the customer and he will not be able to login without admin approval.

Once the admin approves the customer a welcome mail will go to a customer with login credentials.

But the issue is that password is not set in the mail.

Can you please let me know how I can set customer password in the mail template or any other solution

Solution

That's not possible out of the box.
The password can be sent only when the user creates the account because that's the only time when you have the password in clear text.
Once it is saved in the db and you lose the customer instance you cannot get back the password because it is hashed.
But anyway, it's not a good practice to send the password via e-mail in clear text.
The customer should already know his password, and if he forgets it he can click on "Forgot my password"

OTHER TIPS

U can extend welcome functionality Email and ( Mage_Customer_AccountController ) with and send own random generate password to user and save in customer account.

i have manage before 2 days see hear but my condition in small change.

                $customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer");
                $customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId());
                $customer->loadByEmail($login['username'])


                            $customer->setPassword($customer->generatePassword(8));
                            $customer->save();
                            $customer->sendNewAccountEmail();

I think (but not checked) it's fixed by CE 1.9.3.0

In http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/ce19-ee114/ce1.9_release-notes.html#ce19-1930security-pwd , we can read :

The new customer e-mail now includes the customer's password
