title: Does an 'Account Activation' workflow exist for ASP.NET MVC
body: <p>I need to implement the common 'New Account' pattern (in .net MVC) where:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>user information is collected;</li>
  <li>my system sends an email;</li>
  <li>and the user if required to reply to the email to activate the account.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is there a <em>best practices</em> recognized or sample site that can guide my way?</p>
  
  <p>thx much</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Note that i'm trying to drill into a deeper pattern here than just comparing a submitted password against a stored password. </p>
  
  <p>Also please note that I'm not attempting any reference to Windows Workflow here. The title uses workflow in a generic sense only.</p>
  
  <p>thx</p>
