If you happen to lose your Joomla or Virtuemart password, and click on "Forgot Your Password?" on default Joomla installation, you will notice that you will be asked to insert both your username and email address for that account. However, what if you don't remember your username and/or your username and password were autogenerated during silent user registration .
So what does a frustrated Joomla user or shopper do on your site then? They either contact you directly or even more likely go somewhere else to do their shopping and meet their needs. To avoid this, please let me present a simple solution.

If you use Virtuemart Shopping Cart on your web site you will find that your shoppers may need to verify their email address after filling out billing information. This email verification may be confusing your visitors and therefore decreasing you online sales. This video tutorial illustrates how you can configure your control panel so your visitors do not have to verify their email in order to complete their order.
You will need a Joomla super administrator account to access site's global configuration. Additionally, by enabling silent registration you become a potential target to spambots. You may consider using a human verification tool on your virtuemart registration form after enabling silent registration.
