General introduction

With the ContentForces Login component, your website visitor can sign up to your system in order to obtain access to some or all of your web pages, and then log out when the access is not needed. It is an integral part of the security procedures. The website visitor has to enter some credentials, such as the user ID and the password to successfully log in.

Website visitor perspective

At the beginning, the website visitor who does not have an account yet, can click on the appropriate link to create the account with the registration form. This form consists of fields which must filled in by the website visitor. Next, he has to click on the 'Send' button. The validation goes to the Content and Campaign Management System and if everything is correct, a 'Thank you' page is displayed.
A contact is created but it is not active, yet. The website visitor receives an email to his e-mail box with a link which needs to be clicked in order to activate the account.
After clicking on the link, another 'Thank you' page with a link to the login page is displayed (this is optional in case of the intranet).
The website visitor who already has an account can use the login form which consists of input fields for a user ID and a password. There is also, a corresponding submit button ('OK' or 'Log in' button) to log into the system.
Importantly, the customers who forgot their passwords can click on the 'Forgot password' link that enables restoring of the data.
After clicking on this link, the website visitor gets a form and must enter his e-mail address.
The validation is sent and if everything is correct, the website visitor receives an e-mail with a link to set up a new password.
After the successful sign up, the website visitor receives access to the submitted login data - one may modify it by clicking on the 'Edit my data' link.
Every time the validation fails, the website visitor gets an appropriate error message.
