Good question. registration_id is used by web2py with federated authentication to map a local user to the federated id. For example the id could be a google id or an openid of a cas is.
registration_key is a random key assigned to the user when they register if the registration requires verification. It is user to authenticate user in the verify function until the email is verified. Once the email is verified, the registration_key is set to "". if the registration requires approval, after email verification, the registration_key is set to "pending" and the administrator has to manually deleted to approve the user. At any point the administrator can set a user registration_key to "blocked" to prevent the user from logging in. The password_reset_key is the uuid used to identify a user when they ask for a password reset link. the uuid appears in the link and expires when the user resets the password.
