[Zope-dev] storing passwords

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

There are many possibilities.  I would try exUserFolder first (it might work
with just configuration (no code) for your use-case), and if you have needs
more specific, you can develop your own user-folder type (a bit harder, but
not much) using SimpleUserFolder (a generic "base class" for
rolling-your-own user folders).
