public interface AccountManagementService
```
The AccountManagementService provides a way for a visitor (a non logged-in user) to request a new account or to request a password reset. For any other account management task (e.g. modifying a user property) please use the org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager, based on the logged-in user session. The default implementation works as follows: - when a new account is requested, the account is created in the repository and the account is disabled. An email is sent to the user together with a link to confirm the operation. When the link is clicked, the request is validated and if valid the account is enabled. - when a password reset is requested, an email is sent to the user together with a link to confirm the operation. When the link is clicked, , the request is validated and if valid the password is reset and an email is sent to the user with the new password. Other implementations could look as follows: - when a new account is requested, an email is sent to the user together with a link to confirm the operation. The link contains an encrypted token with all the information about the account. When the link is clicked, the account is created. - when a new account is requested, a workflow is triggered. The workflow takes care of validating and creating the new account.
