Auto login user after cred from submit with system generated password

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to be able to automatically log in their users when they sign up using our Toolset Forms with the autogenerated passwords.

Solution:
Unfortunately the only way this will work is if the user creates their password. This will not work with autogenerated passwords as there is no way for us to access that autogenerated password.

Hi there,
I'm using a snippet targetting my form that works to automatically login the user after registration form submission:

add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'tssupp_cred_autologin', 10, 2 );
function tssupp_cred_autologin( $post_id, $form_data ){
if ( 64710 == $form_data['id'] ) { // Edit as required
if ( !empty( $_POST['user_email'] ) && !empty( $_POST['user_pass'] ) ) {
$user_login = explode("@",$_POST['user_email']);
$user = array(
'user_login' => $user_login[0],
'user_password' => $_POST['user_pass'],
'remember' => true
);
$login = wp_signon( $user, false );
if ( is_wp_error($login) ) {
error_log( $login->get_error_message() );
}
}
}
}

Instead of user created password, I want to use a system generated password.
I can change the setting of the form, but how should I modify the snippet so that it works with a system generated password.
Thanks.

Hi David,

Thank you for getting in touch.
