Change the WooCommerce Auto Generated Password

In WooCommerce, there’s a setting under WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts to automatically generate a customer’s password. This way user’s only have to enter an email when they register (with the password generated and sent to their email address), similar to how WordPress handles registration by default.

If it helps you out or you were able to customise and make something even more awesome, let me know!
