Rearrange Login config form

Created on 23 January 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

I was looking at adding some documentation to the updated README in 📌 README.txt with README.md Fixed and when I got to login configuration I was forced to confront the jumble of options in seemingly random order.

We also provide two options that literally do nothing: email can’t be updated because it’s the only way of identifying users ( Add extra fields to config Needs work shows that this is complicated to change), and single logout is disabled until 📌 Enabled hook_user_logout functionality Needs work or something like it gets merged.

Proposed resolution

I think we can rearrange the questions on the form into groups of like things so they will make slightly more sense and be easier to document. I started that work in the attached MR, but I think we can do better.

We should include in the descriptions of update email and single logout that they are currently ineffective, or even disable them.

Remaining tasks

Fieldsets or no? I tried it for account options.

Add some intro text above the account options?

Figure out what to do about the two ineffective options.

User interface changes

A better login form.
