true, I assume that registration is on a website, form based, HTTP.  but I also
read the following:

"Other mechanisms are also available.  For example, a proxy server could be put
in place that requires authentication before connecting via the proxy to the
NNTP server."
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977#section-12.3>

I do not claim to understand network protocols, but I do know solutions to such
... problems can be found.
