If everything is added correctly to the account creation form, when you submit you'll see after login on your account page, the following three URL's:
1st URL for page which will prompt your website visitors for login and password
2nd URL for page with registration form for new members
3rd URL for page where your members can retrieve their login and password if they forgot it
You may also put page protection code to all your protected pages to make them unavailable to access without login and password.
Please note that the username you chose when account was created will be a part of URL's mentioned above.
After registering your SiteLatch account you will be logged into your account manager. You can also access this account manager area from the login form on our main page. Account manager can be used to change anything you entered when account was created (except your account username) and to customize a lot of additional options. It also can be used to add, edit and delete members in your account.

2. Single / limited number of members
You can disable new members registration by unchecking
[ ] Allow new member registration option on "Settings" page. After that, no new members can be registered automatically and you can add new members only by using your Account Manager's "Members" page.
3. Multi-member account with e-mail verification
You may want to verify e-mail address of new members before they can access protected area of your site. This can be done using the verification feature. Here are some sample configurations:
[Settings] New member defaults: status - suspended, expiration - delete member after 3 days
[Settings] Check box "Verify all new members with verification e-mail"
[E-mail Templates] Verification e-mail: default 'thank you' message and "Click here to verify your registration: {activation_link}" message somewhere.
[E-mail Templates] Registration e-mail: default 'thank you' message with login details & {login_url}
[Settings] Send login details on e-mail address provided: checked
With this configuration new members will not be able to access your protected area until they click on the verification link received by e-mail. If they do not verify their email in 3 days their login and password will be automatically removed from the database.
4. Multi-member account with paid members
All you have to do is setup your billing system to redirect customers to your registration form link or your own registration URL page that includes embedded registration HTML code after payment.
Example:
Using PayPal: When you create PayPal buttons, click on the "Add more options" button and put your registration form URL as successful payment return URL. Encode generated button code for more security. This way your customers will be sent to your registration form after successful PayPal payment and will be able to create their login/password to access your members area. You can redirect successful payment members directly to your sign up url found in your SiteLatch account area or you can create an html registration page with the form embedded in the page.
