Would the user be able to change one's password in the future?
There's technically no reason why this can't be implemented,
but I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons why people
would want that, considering:
1) There is little-to-no information stored in users' accounts
worth stealing
2) Consequentially, registering a new account only means losing
your settings and read post history
3) You can use any password, or even no password at all
4) There are no password recovery options, because there are no
alternative ways of identifying users (secret question / e-mail
address).
If you still want this feature, remind me about it for after I
add a user preferences page.
I think it would be worth adding. You never know what other
features you might add in the future that would call for account
security.
