These will take some development.  The first one is relatively
easy (and likely to appear soon), self-registration takes a fair
bit more work in order to manage confirmations properly.

Already exists in Site.AuthUser as of 2.1.beta6.

Already exists in ?action=attr .

In the current release ?action=attr shows '****' if there are
any encrypted passwords for an attribute.  I'm not sure that using
?action=crypt will be all that helpful in finding the password to
be deleted, since ?action=crypt can return many different values 
for the same password.
