With manually created Users... Password not working

[PaulJ2]

Hi All.

So after creating a user via posting to the api within my function..  The user gets created fine.  However when I try logging in as that user using the password I generated in my function it is not allowing me to do so.

Am I incorrect in assuming I should be able to login with the password I provided within the pseudonym[password] parameter?

Thanks
