XesAuthUserDBase has the ability to have users register themselves,  
sends them a validation email, and lets the users change their  
passwords, or request a new password if they lost theirs.  Right now  
it requires MySQL but by tomorrow, the stand-alone user database  
version should merge back into AuthUserDBase, and you'll be able to  
use it with other databases too (PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.).

So there are many options.  If you look at the http://www.pmwiki.org/ 
wiki/Cookbook/XesAuthUserDbase page, you'll get an idea of how this  
recipe works, but I suggest waiting a day or two to install, and it  
will be on the http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AuthUserDbase page  
as version 2.0.

It depends on what your goals are.  If you want to steer clear of  
databases, this is NOT the right option.
