 ## Further notes:
 
-### This bot sends mails
+### Security: Passwords from registration form are stored in clear text
-To allow the bot to verify the email address of the user and to interact with them e.g. in case of approval this bot needs a running mailserver configuration.
+Currently the passwords which are typed in while capturing the register request are stored in clear text.
-This bot relies on php to be properly configured.
+The bot needs to access them to trigger a register request with correct credentials.
+It is currently strongly recommended to set `"getPasswordOnRegistration" => false` in your config!
+This leads to autocreating passwords which will then be send to the users directly without storing it.
