As you've already seen in the explorer, LoopBack has a default user model that handles nearly all of this work for us. It handles account creation, logging in, password resets, and more. Now, normally, you want to extend the user model. If you remember, LoopBack supports the basic inheritance, so I can define a model that extends the properties and methods of another. In our simple examples, though, we can get by with just using the default user model. Typically, for a user system, you design a nice front end, with the registration and log in form, the same for the password reset system.
