FreeBSD new user login script

I am a beginner programmer and would like to know where to start to modify the login process so that a user can login as username new password new and have it prompt user for username and password and nothing else and then create said user account on the system so they can ssh back in and login with the newly created account. A friend had accomplished this in perl but that was many moons and several versions of perl ago. Security is at the front of this project idea as this will be part of a free shell project aimed towards hackers.

Any shoves in the right direction would be welcomed.
