Description

The login module does the following things:

  • It lets a visitor of your website register as a user as a self-service,
  • It authenticate registered users against the resources of your website,
  • It lets a user manage his/her profile (edit user information)
  • It lets a user request a password hint in case the user forgets his/her password,
  • It lets a user request a password reset,
  • It counts the number of login attempts,
  • It suspend the user's account if a wrong password is entered five times,
  • It redirects the user to the previous page when the user provides proper credentials.. 


Self registration

When the visitor is not registered as user of your website he/she can register a user account by filling out the registration form which is depicted below.

 Live form: Fill the form fields to register a user @ help.n-gen.net
(your personal information is perfectly secure by us; we never ever spam or pass on information! )

Login to your website

When a has an account on your website the user can get access to restricted pages.
User management and the level of trust is described on this page
You can learn how to restrict pages on this page (#17).

Password re-try count

When a user enter his or her username correctly  but fails to provide the matching password a counter starts. This feature minimises the risk of a brute force attack where the attacker systematically enters all password combinations. The blocked accounts remain blocked on the server for approx. three hrs, After three hrs the locked accounts will automatically change status to unlocked.

The login form is shown below.


 

Live login form: Provide the credentials that you entered in the Registration Form to login. 
If you want to delete your user again after you have tried the forms all you have to do is provide your credentials and clicking the top left icon, Click to delete user...

I forgot my password! Can I get another?

In first versions of n-gen.net you could only ask to have your password hint sent to you via mail - hoping that the hint would remind you of your password. If not an admin had to delete your account and re-create it again. In current version (since 2023) of n-gen.net CMS you have the option either to receive your password hint on a mail or to have a reset-link. If you request a reset link and do not use it, it will automatically render useless after approx. 24 hours after it is issued.
 

Auto redirect back.

In the current versions of n-gen.net CMS login module you will be automatically be redirected to page you were supposed to land on when you where redirected to the login page. This way the login procedure causes as little inconvenience as possible for your users.
