Sadly it's not possible to have CouchDB make that happen for you! You can very easily allow unauthenticated requests to create users, but there's no way to create those per-user databases without writing some trusted code that runs separately from CouchDB.

What will stop one user from accessing another user's database?

You can configure databases to require the correct user to authenticate before touching it..
