NOTE: I now recommend to not use FOSUserBundle. Instead, use MakerBundle: it has commands to generate a User class, login form, registration form and more.

Ready to master Symfony's most popular bundle! FOSUserBundle can be a great way to get your application up and running quickly, giving you a User entity, registration pages, reset password and more. But to make it really shine, you need to integrate it into your layout, customize its text, tweak its forms and hook into its actions!

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to:

Install & setup FOSUserBundle
Understanding and configuring security
Using your own base layout
Overriding templates
Customizing and extending the forms
Removing the username field entirely
Updating any text via translations
Creating an event subscriber to do things before/after registration (or anything else)
Using Guard Authentication with FOSUSerBundle

Let's rock!
