Comment:

 In [changeset:"60650" 60650]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60650"
 Users: Throw specific warning when `wp_insert_user()` called without
 `user_pass`.

 Modifies `wp_insert_user()` to throw the warning `The user_pass field is
 required when creating a new user. The user will need to reset their
 password before logging in.` when called without the `user_pass` argument
 defined.

 This avoids a mix of warnings being thrown depending on the version of PHP
 the system is running on, anywhere between zero and three.

 To retain backward compatibility the user is created with an empty
 password. As WordPress does not accept an empty password during
 authentication, this will require the newly created user complete the
 password reset process.
