You can make the password input in the registration and checkout process as a hidden input and have an algorithm that generates random values for it.
For example at registration you have these fields for passwords

<input type="password" name="password" id="password" title="<?php echo $this->__('Password') ?>" class="input-text required-entry validate-password" />

and 

<input type="password" name="confirmation" title="<?php echo $this->__('Confirm Password') ?>" id="confirmation" class="input-text required-entry validate-cpassword" />

Turn them into this:

<?php $password = Mage::helper('core')->getRandomString($length = 7)?>

<input type="hidden" name="password" id="password" title="<?php echo $this->__('Password') ?>" class="input-text required-entry validate-password" value="<?php echo $password?>"  />

and 

<input type="hidden" name="confirmation" title="<?php echo $this->__('Confirm Password') ?>" id="confirmation" class="input-text required-entry validate-cpassword" value="<?php echo $password?>" />

  • The customer won't know what the password is, then, so a reminder email needs to be triggered. – philwinkle Oct 15 '13 at 13:54

    @philwinkle. In the standard registration e-mail you get your passoword. – Marius Oct 15 '13 at 13:57
  • Touché, you're absolutely correct. – philwinkle Oct 15 '13 at 14:33

    Though, that's typically one of the first things that I alter... – philwinkle Oct 15 '13 at 14:33
  • @philwinkle. I know ...I followed a discussion in here about that. Since then I recommend to my clients to do the same, but in this case I think the default e-mail with the password in it is the way to go. – Marius Oct 15 '13 at 14:35
  • If I recall correctly, the passwords are no longer included in the default email starting in Magento 1.9.1 – Luke A. Leber May 27 '16 at 17:56

    @LukeA.Leber. From what I see it's still there: https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-mirror/blob/1.9.2.4/app/locale/en_US/template/email/account_new.html#L25 – Marius May 27 '16 at 19:19
  • @Marius - I'll double-check now, but I'm almost certain that the emails generated have a blank spot where the password used to be. This may have been reversed in recent versions, but check out the security enhancements outlined in http://docs.magento.com/m1/ce/user_guide/magento/release-notes-ce-1.9.1.html?Highlight=release%20notes – Luke A.
