There are five components

1)Route

You will need a route for GET and POST for creating an account

These routes should point to your account controller or whatever you name it.

2)Model

You will need to protect your users table and set fillable fields, etc.

3)View

In your form you need to pass the route action and validation conditionals

4)Controller

You will need two methods for creating a users account. They will be getCreate and postCreate

getCreate will return a view

postCreate will have validation and set all input data to users account

5. Database

   You will need a database and a users table

   The user should have an auto incremented id, password, active, remember_token at least

You will need a conditional in your users account controller that says if user is equal to 0 or 1.

You will need to add a column name active to your users table.

0 would mean they have not created their password yet

1 would mean they have created their password

$user = User::create(array(
				'email'		=>	$email,
				'username'	=>	$username,
				//generate 60 varchar password
				'password'	=>	Hash::make($password),
				'code'		=>	$code,
				'active'	=>	0
			));

if($user) {
   return Redirect::route('page to password reset')
}else{
   return Redirect::route('page saying they already are registered')
}

You would do something like the above.
