Looking for a PHP based user management system

Question

I am presently looking for a user management system in PHP which can easily be integrated and built on. I have googled for it and i have two or three already on the list to try out, but then again i want the benefit of personal recommendation based on usage and experience with a solution.

So if you know of any that has worked for you in time past, i would really appreciate if you can recommend.

Thanks!

Answer 1

My recommendation is to don't that stuff yourself. Provide integration to systems like(to name a few):

• openid
• facebook connect
• twitter sign-in
• rpxnow

There are libraries in almost any programming language(PHP), they are the most safe and users don't have to create (ANOTHER) separate account(etc).

Don't fall victim to security breach like for example lifehacker.com did. Like Jeff Atwood mentions security is hard and you should let the experts figure it out!
