I disagree on openid/fbconnect. If registering logs people in, and if it's barebones email+password, it takes me as many keystrokes to register as it does to login with openid. Add in the ability to read without logging in, and I don't see the point of building openID.
OpenID is not a bad idea, but I think it's non-essential. What am I missing?
- lr 17y agoThe issue is a new ID (not so much) and a new password (the big issue). The password is a show stopper for me as I am not going to re-use one of my existing passwords because I have no idea how this site secures passwords. And the last thing I want right now is a new password. It would be much better to just use OpenID/FBConnect.
- akkartik 17y agoI use password composer. (http://www.xs4all.nl/~jlpoutre/BoT/Javascript/PasswordComposer http://www.xs4all.nl/~jlpoutre/BoT/Javascript/PasswordCompos...) But the point is, most people don't care about reusing passwords. Even most people on HN. This is just another example of us techies getting distracted by things we care about. The goal is to build something people will use. Privacy just doesn't matter.
