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?

Requiring email addresses could be a problem. Many schools block email
clients. So, the student would not be able to confirm the email until they
got home. Creating accounts the first day of class would be a hassle. It's
so easy now. I say leave it the way it is!
sure enough an OpenID account is easier to deal with than a local account.
I'd rather try to require all new accounts on sagenb.org to be OpenID.
I'm seriously considering doing that. Then all issues of password
resets disappear, and I can
assume that any user has an account that has been verified by somebody else.
+1.
Right now, we don't have a switch to require only OpenID logins, so we'd
have to do that somehow.
A huge plus of this is that passwords would no longer be transmitted
insecurely, if I understand things correctly.
