@moz125 can you provide me a list of functions that would be required related to user profiling(Sign Up, Login, Account Recovery)
Some sample function names are as follows:

• username_exists($username)
• email_exists($email)
• match_password($username, $salted_password)

Like as in a list of functions pre-made, or just their names, parameters, outputs, and description?

It would be good if you provide the description also but names, parameters and outputs will also do.
