4 This plugin lets ikiwiki prompt for a user name and password when logging
5 into the wiki. It also handles registering users, mailing passwords, and
6 changing passwords in the prefs page.
8 It is enabled by default, but can be turned off if you want to only use
9 some other form of authentication, such as [[httpauth]] or [[openid]].
11 When the `account_creation_password` configuration option is enabled with
12 a pass-phrase, this plugin prompts for the password when creating an
13 account as a implistic anti-spam measure.
14 (Some wikis edited by a particular group use an account creation password
15 as an "ask an existing member to get an account" system.)
