Currently, the user get to edit his profile page as a regular wiki page. It's nice for him to have a page of his own for his profile. However, I can see trouble if the user has to edit a wiki page to change his password, ID or email. What if he gets the format wrong or misses something? It also prevents any authentication, verification, and double-checking. My suggestion is a profile page that the user can edit freely, and make typos, and not quite understand the markup (we all know users like that), and a separate page that the user can access only through a form that deals with authentication, etc. That protected page could be one per user, or one big one. If not for the extra programming, I'd prefer that the admin have a form to edit the passwords/ID/email page. Even though Pm uses easy formats, the risks of making a mistake here make me very cautious about editing this sort of page.
