People – Account settings


The user account settings screen can be reached at Configuration | People | Account settings (admin/config/people/accounts).

The section is quite extensive and covers a few different areas, so we will look at them individually.

The type of website you are building will dictate the exact choices you make here, but it's important to consider all the options in turn before you allow users to start creating accounts.
