Plugin: passwordauth

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