title: Magento: How to create an account with email and password only
body: <p>I'm using Magento 1.7. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to simplify the create account (register new user) to show and require only the email and a password.</p>
  
  <p>The user would only fill in the other info (like name, address, etc) when making a purchase.</p>
  
  <p>The idea behind is that every user would need to give out the email address in order to view the site content.</p>
  
  <p>I'm already using <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/wabism-members-only-7590.html" rel="nofollow">this extension</a> in order to make the the site available only to login users. I need a way to simplify the register process to include only email and password</p>
