  1. Hi all ! It looks to me that sending an activation email and resetting a password are more or less similar operations as both require a token to be returned to the website for verification and thereafter changing the password. The two cannot be confused since password resetting must obviously always, if at all, occur after account activation. The record in the database would in any case be deleted after any of these operations have been executed successfully. So I was wondering if it is alright to use the same table in the database for both these operations. Or do we need to retain some information in the database after these operations are completed. Information that can be handy later for some operations I cannot think of right now. I have noticed that google asks for any old password that a user can recall. What do they do with that? How can they identify a user with that I wonder ? They wouldn't be storing plain passwords would they? Thanks all !
