+
+This plugin lets ikiwiki prompt for a user name and password when logging
+into the wiki. It also handles registering users, mailing passwords, and
+changing passwords in the prefs page.
+
+It is enabled by default, but can be turned off if you want to only use
+some other form of authentication, such as [[openid]].
