Description
For public CWS instances, a sign-up facility would be useful. We may set one up as a public demo server for IOI 2013.
This would require optionally hashing and salting passwords.

Research direction
Start by identifying the existing CWS authentication and account entry points; no files or tests are named in the issue. Clarify which external login providers and public sign-up flow are required, then define how password hashing and salting should work. Done should include an agreed provider scope, secure credential handling, and tests for the resulting login and registration behavior.
