User Account Creation

[danielBingham]

As a user I want to be able to create an account and login so I can post papers, post reviews, and comment and have them all associated with my account.

Story Background

Author: Bing

What is the history or background behind this story? What context the developer researching or implementing this story need?

We're going to need a login and user account system so that we can associate academic papers with their authors. At the beginning, this doesn't need to be overly complex. A simple email / password login, the ability to set a name on a profile, and baseline secure practices should do it.
