{:admin {:password "admin" :email "admin@localhost"}
:adam {:password "secret" :email "adam@localhost"}}
that is to say, the username is a keyword and the corresponding password is a string. However, since version 0.5.0, users can now change their own passwords, and when the user changes their password their new password is encrypted using the [scrypt](http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html) one-way encryption scheme. The password file is now no longer either in the *resources/public* directory so cannot be downloaded through the browser, and is no longer in the git archive to which the Wiki content is stored, so that even if that git archive is remotely clonable an attacker cannot get the password file that way.

There's still no mechanism to add a new user to the system through the user interface; you do sill have to do that by editing the password file in an editor.
