Enhancements to user management
After nine months of operation and with 350 people having registered to use opubWriter, an error report today revealed the incompleteness of the opubWriter user management functionality. A user reported that they had forgotten their password and could find no way to retrieve or reset it.
Rather hastily, then, I have provided two new functions to opubWriter:
- The ability to request a password reset. By correctly specifying a User Name and answering the security question that was defined at user registration, a new password will be emailed to the user.
- Once a user has logged in, the ‘Change Password’ option is enabled. By selecting this option a user can change their password.
Both of these options are described in more detail in the Register and Login page of this blog.
