Historically, registering with an XMPP service has been difficult.
Each server either used customized out-of-band registration mechanisms such
as web forms which were difficult to discover, or they used &xep0077; which
could easily be abused by spammers to register large numbers of accounts and
which allowed for only limited extensibility.

For recovery or registration, the server MUST include a list of all
challenge types which the client may receive during the course of
registering or recovering an account.
The purpose of this list is to allow clients to detect if registration
requires a challenge type which the client does not support, so servers
SHOULD only include each type once; the list is merely informative, and
should not be relied upon by clients except to ensure that all mechanisms
are supported.
This list should comprise &lt;challenge/&gt; elements containing a string
that uniquely identifies the type of challenge being issued.
These are grouped into "flows" and let the client pick a registration
workflow that only contains challenges which the client supports.
Each &lt;flow/&gt; element MUST have a unique "id" attribute which is used
by the client to identify the flow being selected.
They must also have at least one &lt;name/&gt; element containing a short,
human readable description of the flow.
If multiple &lt;name/&gt; elements are present they MUST have unique values
for the "xml:lang" attribute.
Clients MAY use the name element to show the different flows to the user and
ask them to pick between them.
Each flow must also contain a list of &lt;challenge/&gt; elements
representing the various challenges that must be completed to complete the
registration or recovery flow.
Each &lt;challenge/&gt; element contains a string that uniquely (within the
given parent element) identifies the type of challenge that will be offered.
If a flow would offer the same challenge twice (eg. two dataforms asking for
different data), the challenge SHOULD only be listed once in the flow
element.
</p>
<p>
For example, a server may advertise a "Verify with SMS" flow and a "Verify
by Phone Call" flow that both show a dataform asking for a phone number
and then a second dataform asking for a token provided to the user in a
text message or phone call depending on which flow the user selects.

Clients, servers, and other services such as components that support
Extensible IBR after stream negotiation is complete MUST advertise the

A client selects the registration or recovery feature for negotiation by
replying with an empty element of the same name and namespace.
For example, to attempt account recovery the client would send a
&lt;recovery&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace.
replying with an element of the same name and namespace.
The element MUST contain a &lt;flow&gt; element that MUST have an "id"
attribute matching one of the flows advertised by the server.
For example, to select the "Verify by Phone Call" registration flow from
the previous example, the client would reply with:

The server then replies to the IQ or feature selection with a challenge.
If replying to an IQ, the challenge must be wrapped in an IQ of type
"result".

If after receiving a challenge or response a client or server does not wish
to continue registration or recovery, it may send an empty &lt;cancel/&gt;
element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace.

<p>
If the client submits invalid data, or the server wishes to cancel for some
other reason, it may reply with an empty &lt;cancel/&gt; element qualified
by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace.
If the client successfully completes the challenge, the server MAY return an
empty &lt;success/&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0'
namespace, at which point it may continue with the stream negotiation
process.
If the IQ based registration or recovery flow is being used and the server
wishes to cancel the flow, it MAY respond to any IQ from the client with the
cancel element and type "result".

If the client successfully completes all required challenges during stream
negotiation the server MUST return an empty &lt;success/&gt; element
qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace, at which point it may
continue with the stream negotiation process.
If the server needs more information, for example, in the previous challenge
the user entered an email and now the server wishes to ask for a code that
was sent to that email, the server MAY send another challenge.
