We now have a really neat and complete form with which the users can get an account on our social network!

In this chapter, we saw how to secure passwords using the bcrypt encryption provided by the ZendCryptPassword component. We also saw how to create a complex form with validation for each field, custom error messages, and the proper handling at the frontend using custom classes that will turn the field to red.

In the next chapter, we will complete the cycle of the register/login functionality, allowing the users to log in and log out from the social network with their credentials.
