If the Visitor has not registered on the website before, they will be asked to do so now. When the Visitor registers successfully, a User Account and a corresponding Contact is created for them. If the optional Registration Contact Group is specified in Site Settings, their newly created Contact is also placed in that Contact Group. Then the newly registered User is logged in and directed to the Registration Confirmation Page, where the registration process continues.

Login Process: When a returning User (who has previously registered) attempts to access a Page or File that has been restricted, the Registration Entrance Page is displayed. The Visitor enters their Username and Password, is logged in, and directed to the restricted Page of File. The login process is complete.

## Logout Page

This Page Type is provided so that you can create your own custom Logout Page. When this Page is viewed, the current User will be logged out instantly. A link to the Login Page is also displayed.

## Forgot Password Page

This Page Type is provided so that you can create your own custom Forgot Password Page. This Page presents the Visitor with a form to enter their User account e-mail address. If the e-mail address matches a User account, then the User account's Password Hint is displayed (if not blank). If the User is unable to remember their password from the Password Hint (if enabled), then the User account password is reset and a temporary password is e-mailed to the User account holder.

NOTE: Using the Password Hint feature makes User accounts less secure so you should use caution if you enable this feature. You can disable this feature for all Users in the Site Settings. You can also disable the forgot Password link from all Login Pages in the Site Settings.

## Change Random Password Page

This Page Type is provided so that you can create your own custom Change Random Password Page. This Page Type is displayed immediately after a successful login has occurred using a temporary password. This Page prompts the User to enter a new password of their choosing. This practice keeps passwords secure since only the User knows what it is, passwords are never transmitted via e-mail, and passwords are encrypted when stored.

NOTE: The first Page of each of these Page Types that is found within your website will be displayed (be sure to place them all in a Public Folder). If any of these Pages are found missing from your website, a default page will be displayed for each Page Type so that your website will continue to function correctly, but no Page Style will be used (no branding). To create any of these Page Types, click on "Create Page". You should only have one Page with of each of these Page Types on your website.
