Web User Module
###############
The web_user module provides facilities to manage external user accessing from
the web.
User
****
A user is uniquely identified by an email and he is authenticated using a
hashed password. The user can be linked to a Party.
Two actions are available:
- The *Validate E-mail* which sent an e-mail to the user with a link to an URL
that ensures the address exists.
- The *Reset Password* which sent an e-mail to the user with a link to an URL
to set a new password.
