Comment (by rollybueno):

 There's no check in place to see if the `user_pass` key exists in
 `$userdata`. It only assume it exists by default. If we intend to make it
 required, we should add a check and throw WP_Error in case it's missing.

 Replying to [comment:2 dd32]:
 > The `user_pass` is a required parameter of `wp_insert_user()` at
 present. It's not optional, nor is it defaulting to a random password.
 >
 > > In this case, WordPress correctly generates a random password for the
 user.
 >
 > This functionality is not part of `wp_insert_user()`, instead this is
 part of `register_new_user()` which does not allow specifying the user's
 password.
