Wordpress Front-End User Management

Hello

I often need to have a user management (login, profile, password, etc.) on my wordpress websites. What do you use? How do you do it?

Could you elaborate a little more?

Do you use plugins for user registration/login process? If so, which is your favourite? Or do you use wordpress' user management and extend it with custom roles?

No I just use WP core user stuff. What functionality do you need that doesn't come stock in WP?

Edit: I do extend with custom roles.

User registration with custom fields, export registered users as excel file, user privilges. And I don't want users to see the wordpress login screen.

Yeah, I've never really had to do anything along those lines.

Maybe you want to build in Drupal instead? It offers those features as basic things :)
