Following the link in the mail takes me to a password reset page, where I can set a new password and am able to login with these credentials now.
This whole workflow seems wrong. Why should a person be directed to a password reset page when he is registering a new account? I already have an account at Arch Wiki with the same credentials. Do both AUR and the wiki use the same accounts? Is this why my new account registration request at AUR was actually considered as a password change request?
No, the wiki and the AUR use different accounts. The password reset form is used to set an initial password for your AUR account. Maybe we should use a different title when that page is accessed via the link in the welcome email...
