Use only the email address for the rest of the password
Discussion
- Q
- If i use only email for resetting password, there is a possibility to reset multiple user accounts. This is because, one user can have multiple account with same email address. In that case, his/her both account password will be reseted.
- A
- Correct, my suggestion is to have "only one user" per email address. That means, a user is identified through his email address. - AND (later on), the user may add several email addresses... (at the end: josef.noll@movation.no, LinkedIN: Josef, josefnoll@gmail.com, josef@jnoll.net...) are all the same users
- Is it a big deal to implement (i) one user, identified through email address and (ii) multiple email addresses for users?
Note
- Please use "variables" to indicate the messages. These "variables" should be used to allow in the future "language files" to define the message according to the selected language.
- Make sure that the "return" email (on forgotten password) contains the user name, as josef.noll@movation.no might have forgotten his username :-)
