"Password is already taken by user123"

That's number 1 in how to tell the organisation has really bad password management

Number 2 is getting an email:

Welcome to shittyTech

Your account is successfully created with name "psud", password "T<©"9_Pt#sbw«:r_R }$° Z-"

*Edited to have a password like a sensible modern user would let their password manager set, instead of the XKCD one

I don't minde the email when it continues with "please change the password when you first log in"

When it makes you change the password on login. Asking the user politely is not enough.

"Thank you for changing the password

Your new password is: xxxxx"
