I happen to agree with Vega that hosting profile information in Wave has many advantages. However I disagree just on one piece: the login information. I do think the username and password need to be manageable outside of Wave itself. They provide kind of a minimal bootstrapping environment you need. First you get a username and password, then you can log into Wave.
Clearly the password reset mechanism needs to be outside of the authenticated world. I think it's simplest to put basic password management (changing your password when you already know it) outside of waves too. Building data models in Wave is nice and flexible, but it's a lot of overhead for something as basic as login credentials. In many cases, authentication will be delegated to some other system, LDAP for example. We're just trying to implement something basic for groups that don't have such a system.
