If someone knows how to, please let me know.
Thank you.

I found it how.

Can you please share the code with example data
Can any one please share the code with example data for creating a new user in Drupal 8 by custom module .
Example code for user registration
Example code for user registration :
$values = array(
'field_first_name' => 'Test First name',
'fieldt_last_name' => 'Test Last name',
'name' => 'test',
'mail' => 'test@test.com',
'roles' => array(),
'pass' => 'password',
'status' => 1,
);
$account = entity_create('user', $values);
$account->save();
Which
In which file should I insert this code? and where the credentials are stored? How can I reach them ?

You would add this code into a custom module. Check here for more information on creating custom modules in Drupal 8.
The credentials for the user are stored in the users table of the database, but you'd access the user data by loading the user in code, not directly with a sql query.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Thanks a lot for your answer. Am I doing it right? I want to create some users, when the module is installed. So I inserted the code into my_module.install file in hook_install() function? Am I supposed to see newly created users inside of the box (People->List) after module installation? Or at least be able to log in the system with name and pass?
Because seems it doesn't work, maybe I should add some more code?

The module code would help to understand the problem.

Oh, sorry. I have used the above mentioned code in my my_module.install file
function my_module_install() {
$values = array(
'name' => 'test',
'mail' => 'test@test.com',
'pass' => 'password',
'status' => 1,
);
$account =
entity_create('user', $values);
$account->save();
return $account;
}
But after module installation nothing happens. The user is neither created and visible inside of the box, nor record in db is created.

This worked for me
use Drupal\user\Entity\User;
function my_module_install() {
$user = User::create(array(
'name' => 'test',
'mail' => 'test@test.com',
'pass' => 'password',
'status' => 1,
));
$user -> save();
}

Following code is tested to create new user programmatically using custom module.
When you install your module, this code would create user "test" with password "test" and email "test@test.com". Flush and rebuild the cache and check "admin/people" for newly created user.

Multiple users
In the case you wish to create more then one user account the code inside
function MYMODULE_install()
will looks like this:Duplication of user accounts
The above code works well for the most part. However, I have noticed for Drupal 8, Drupal does not enforce Uniqueness on the email field nor the username field in the database. Consequently, it will be necessary to do a check before creating the user otherwise you will result in multiple users having the same email address or possibly username. I encountered this issue while doing an import from an unsorted CSV where there were duplicate entries for users. Including the following before creating the user should verify the account dosen't already exist
How you deal with the existence of a duplicate record is really up to you. You could update the record, save a record to watchdog, end the creation etc. Nevertheless a check needs to be put in place to avoid duplication of users.
So, how would you create a
So, how would you create a user programmatically and suppress email notifications? We need to bulk create 1300 accounts and don't want emails going out to all of them.

Hi Lisa,
Hi Lisa,
Use the above comment code to create user programmatically, that will not trigger any email unless until you add code to sent email
If you want to send welcome email with out admin approval you can use
_user_mail_notify('register_no_approval_required', $user);
after user save
Suppress email notifications
If you want to suppress account created emails, make sure the user's status field is set before you call the save method for the first time, and don't update it before consecutive calls to the save method.
_user_mail_notify is called every time a user is saved and the status is changed. So, just make sure that doesn't happen and it should not send.
It can also be useful to install something like the SMTP module, and disable it, to serve as another barrier for account created emails.
You can automatically set a
You can automatically set a password with the code below. This way, passwords are not in your codebase.

Interesting solution but...
So this is cool but how does the end user get it to login? I am looking at something similar, create a user / password, and then send a one time login link.
user mail notify
This is a bit late but maybe useful to somebody:
Once the new user has been saved you can notify the them like this:

I am not sure why you need a extra form field in user login form.
User Login form - In normal case we use to validate the user information that is already existing (Either with username or email ) , not to store user information .
We use "user registration form" to capture user profile information.
In Drupal 8 , you can create the field from admin login. if you do not want to display the field in user registration you can set "manage form display" to HIDDEN . This way it is easy to manage user entity.

How to create Role while installing Custom module?
I want to create Role while enabling my Custom Module in D8.
How to achieve this?
Thanks
Create a user and assigning default role
use Drupal\user\Entity\User;
//Create a User
$user = User::create();
//Mandatory settings
$email = $form_state->getValue('mail');
$user->setPassword($form_state->getValue('pass'));
$user->enforceIsNew();
$user->setEmail($email);
$user->setUsername($email);//This username must be unique and accept only a-Z,0-9, - _ @ .
$user->activate();
$user->set('init', $email);
//Set Language
$language_interface = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage();
$user->set('langcode', $language_interface->getId());
$user->set('preferred_langcode', $language_interface->getId());
$user->set('preferred_admin_langcode', $language_interface->getId());
//Adding default user roles
$userRolesArray = array(2,3);//role id
foreach ($userRolesArray as $key => $role) {
$user->addRole($role);
}
// Save has no return value so this cannot be tested.
// Assume save has gone through correctly.
$user1 = $user->save();
Resolved
Thanks, I have addedd Role with above chunk
role id means role machine name
if you have role like Member, its machine name might be "member" , then use this machine name of the role instead of role id
User::create() works for me.
Regarding User::addRole()
Anonymous or authenticated role ID must not be assigned manually.

Simple email loginAdding / updating users with the Profile module
Thanks @rabithk for your responses on this topic. I was faced with a similar situation except I had to deal with a D6 -> D8 migration. The D6 site used the Profile module, so the fields were a bit different. I had a bunch of users that were in the DB, but many didn't have their profile information.
Notice the field names as profile_xxx_xxx instead of field_xxx_xxx. This was done quickly and isn't exactly terse, but it did the trick. Hope this might help someone.
