User Accounts
There are many scenarios when you may want users of your website to have their own account. This could be to protect certain data or it could be to allow them to produce user generated content in the form of comments or forum discussions.
Security is important for these accounts, to ensure any data is stored in a secure way and that users can only do what you want them to do. There can be various related functionality for these accounts such as allowing users to register themselves, to have some admin interface for managing the registered users or for allowing multiple levels of user account.
With password's key to the security of user accounts on websites, there must be options to recover them. By having password recovery options for your site customers will feel safer and therefore more inclined to use the site, and it saves you having to reset password for them. The most common form for this is through 2 stage email authentication.
