The old password reset flow:
* User requests a password reset.
* Danbooru generates a password reset nonce.
* Danbooru emails user a password reset confirmation link.
* User follows link to password reset confirmation page.
* The link contains a nonce authenticating the user.
* User confirms password reset.
* Danbooru resets user's password to a random string.
* Danbooru emails user their new password in plaintext.
The new password reset flow:
* User requests a password reset.
* Danbooru emails user a password reset link.
* User follows link to password edit page.
* The link contains a signed_user_id param authenticating the user.
* User changes their own password.
* Replace /session/new with /login and /session/sign_out with /logout.
* Rename 'sign in' to 'login'.
This changes are to make urls cleaner and terminology more consistent.
Remove the "Remember" checkbox from the login page. Make session cookies
permanent instead. Phase out legacy `user_name` and `password_hash` cookies.
Previously a user's session cookies would be cleared whenever they
closed their browser window, which would log them out of the site. To
work around this, when the "Remember" box was checked on the login page
(which it was by default), the user's name and password hash (!) would
be stored in separate permanent cookies, which would be used to
automatically log the user back in when their session cookies were
cleared. We can avoid all of this just by making the session cookies
themselves permanent.
Fineprint text was variously styled with `.info`, `.tn`, `.hint`, or
`.cost-footnote` css classes. Standardize on `.fineprint` instead. Use
`.hint` only for form hints and `.tn` only for <tn> tags in translation
notes.
Incidentally changes the font size of form hints to 0.8em (was 0.7em)
and the color of fineprint to #888 (was #AAA or #666).
