iono Documentation - Registration/Login
Customers log into the iono frontend to access their account, download files and pay invoices. Before they can do so, they must first register. Registration can be done at any time by following the link on the login page or it is done at the very end of the order process so that new orders are associated with a user account.
When registering, users are asked to provide certain information. The following data is collected (all fields are required):
- Username
- Password
- E-Mail address
- First and last name
- Full postal address including postal/zip code and country
- Phone number
Once registered, by default the user must click a link sent to them via e-mail. This will activate their account and is designed to prevent spam bots from registering. It can be disabled in the Admin Settings. You can also enable admin account approval whereby the iono administrator must manually approve accounts before users can log in; again this is set in the Admin Settings.
The user will log in from the standard login form with the details they used to register and can then view their account. If they forget their password they can enter their e-mail address in the reset password form and have the password reset and sent to them. Since the password is stored as an MD5 hash, it cannot be retrieved, only reset.
