Also, one other question, since this uses a form do you have any issue with spammers adding accounts?

Hi April,

You shouldn't need to change any information in the plugin in order to use it in different sections, so long as you have a single page that is used for logging in, etc. Can you provide some more information about what you are trying to do?

As for your second question, there is always the possibility of spammers creating accounts. The default action of the form, creates a randomly generated password that is sent to the email address of the person signing up. Signing up for an account doesn't automatically log you in. So even if a bot was able to create an account, they would be able to log in (probably). If you are concerned and want extra protection, you could integrate a captcha script to stop them from creating the accounts in the first place. Here's a popular script:

Hope this helps
