There are 2 configuration options:
1. automatically generate password for new users
2. use email as login
First option doesn't work in administrative console at all and I still see
password fields and I can use them. Of course none email is sent to user,
with it's auto-generated password.
Second option will work as expected, but it will always overwrite Login
field contents with Email field value. In administrative console I have both
fields editable, but I think that Login field should not be available for
editing or totally hidden in this case.
In conclusion I think that user registration form in administrative console
should work same way as on front-end.
