 The wp_insert_user() function in WordPress allows creating a user without
 explicitly providing a password. In this case, WordPress correctly
 generates a random password for the user. However, it still produces the
 following warning:

 {{{
 PHP Warning: Undefined array key "user_pass" in wp-includes\user.php on
 line 2219
 }}}

 Fix to this would be Either:
 Make the password parameter mandatory for wp_insert_user(), OR Add proper
 validation to handle cases when password is not provided to prevent the
 warning
