The problem is the "new loginbox", which wasn't available when the
documentation has been written.
So if you don't use the default content element "login" but this "box"
instead, you have to do it another way.
The "new loginbox" is using a concept called "general record storage page".
You have to set this "GRSP" to the uid of the sysfolder containing your
fe_users.
It can be done by editing the "page header", setting the page type to
"advanced" and use the element browser to fill in the page uid to a
selectbox.
I really don't like this concept since you can use either only one plugin on
a page or you have to put alle the different records for plugins into one
sysfolder.
So my advice is to stick with the default content element "login", and this
will work exactly as described in the docs.
