 * On my site I wish to create a button (already have the code etc), that will require
   a person who works in a particular field, to see the certain information related
   to that work but not for all eyes, (ie joe public) by clicking a button and filling
   out short form asking for position, responsibility and place of work so that 
   we can send out a password to log in for them to see said info.
    I know this 
   has been done a zillion times but for me its first time and I would like to get
   it right. As I see it the procedure is as follows:
 * Client sees 2 buttons….1 says “Log In” second says “Request Username & Password”
   
   Client clicks on button 1 (request user name and password to access this page)
   Page comes up for entry of info… Offers box to enter selection of user name and
   password… Client clicks ‘send’ **\*See note 1)** I receive this as an email..
   I can then respond to email with and confirming log in details… Client click 
   on second button “Log In”.. Dialogue box for person to enter User and Password,
   Once entered and clicked Opens page that has info.
 * _Note 1: I read I can use the internal ‘name@wordpress.org’ email system so that
   my hosting server where WP installation is located will receive the request and
   notify me by email that a request has been submitted. I can then allow “New User
   Approve” plug in to allow.
    How and where do I store the Log In and Request Username&
   Password details. Now its quite clear that I need a page that has the relevant
   sensitive info on which I have already drafted. How do I link to that so the 
   client can see page but once finished and logged out the screen return to that
   Login page.
 * Now I got this from a great gut at Gravity…
