We should have that feature; a big +1. Dan Drake worked a bit on also using
email to confirm account registration. In fact, if email address is
required (a setting in the notebook admin page), a "Forgot password" link
appears at the bottom of the login page (see sage.cs.drake.edu, for
example). I don't know how well it works, though. Of course, as always,
patches are welcome!
Should we require email addresses on sagenb.org?
I will probably have to do that and ban all accounts on
http://sagenb.org that don't have emails. This is because as
sagenb.org gets more popular, it'll get abused by spammers, hackers,
etc. Right now, I'm still OK with leaving things as is, but this is
temporary. Maybe http://sagenb.com (which doesn't exactly exist as a
separate site) will be different.

There are "only" 80,264 http://sagenb.org accounts. The number of
accounts grows at a rate of about 100-150/day.
Can't we enable the "Forget password" link anyways, and have it work
when accounts have an email address associated with them, but not
otherwise? Just a thought...
I had that same thought. First, we'd have to make sure the Forget
Password link works at all. Then it would be easy to put in a check
like that.
Thanks,
Jason
