File

All you need to do after installing this extension is to create a page file in the .\lot\user folder. Name the page after the user name you want. For example, here I will create a user with the name @‌john-doe:

.\
└── lot\
    └── user\
        └── john-doe.page ✔

And this will be what it contains:

---
author: John Doe
type: Markdown
status: 1
...

I am the main author of [this site](http://127.0.0.1).

Page

The user’s profile page can be accessed through the http://127.0.0.1/user/john-doe link. To go to the log-in page, remove the user name from the link:

http://127.0.0.1/user

Please note that if the .\lot\user\john-doe\pass.data file does not exist, the password field will work as a password generator. You can enter any password and pass.data file will be created automatically. This is how you would reset a user password. Simply delete the pass.data file.
