Friendlier Subjects for Account Emails
Gives WordPress's new account, password changed and email address changed emails friendlier subjects of your own, without touching the rest of the message.

$wpide_core_subjects = array(
'new_user' => 'Welcome to %s – set up your account',
'password_changed' => 'Your %s password was changed',
'email_changed' => 'Your %s email address was changed',
);
$wpide_site_name = function () {
return wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( 'blogname' ), ENT_QUOTES );
};
add_filter( 'wp_new_user_notification_email', function ( $email ) use ( $wpide_core_subjects, $wpide_site_name ) {
if ( isset( $wpide_core_subjects['new_user'] ) ) {
$email['subject'] = sprintf( $wpide_core_subjects['new_user'], $wpide_site_name() );
}
return $email;
} );
add_filter( 'password_change_email', function ( $email ) use ( $wpide_core_subjects, $wpide_site_name ) {
if ( isset( $wpide_core_subjects['password_changed'] ) ) {
$email['subject'] = sprintf( $wpide_core_subjects['password_changed'], $wpide_site_name() );

$email['subject'] = sprintf( $wpide_core_subjects['email_changed'], $wpide_site_name() );

Use %s for the site name; remove a line to keep WordPress's default subject for that email.
