Comment (by Hanni):

 "We recommend updating your temporary password on first log in" could
 perhaps be phrased a little differently. I understand what this means, but
 nonetheless read it a couple of times as it appeared a tad awkward,
 perhaps (this is coming form someone who appears to have an uncanny
 ability to create these kinds of awkward sentences).

 Since it's being sent to new users created on a multisite install, one
 might be able to suggest that there is a possibility of unfamiliarity with
 the process, or indeed with WordPress as a whole.

 How about something something a little easier to parse?

 "We recommend that you update this temporary password when you first log
 in to WordPress.. "
 or" We recommend that you change this temporary password when you log in
 for the first time"

 So, couple of things going on there: change is a clearer, less jargon-y
 call to action than update, imho, and secondly "first log in" versus " log
 in for the first time".

 Thoughts?
