You could also delegate the login to Facebook, Twitter, Google, OpenID, etc which are all supposed to be secure. It also reduces the friction of the signup/login process. However, I do hate it when sites don't let you signup directly and force you to use OpenID.
- AgentConundrum 16y agoYou could also delegate the login to Facebook... I refuse to use FacebookConnect (or whatever it's called), since it's my real identity being used. I imagine a lot of people are the same. ...Twitter... I also don't have a twitter account, since I don't really see the point of it. ...Google... Can you elaborate here? I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, though I feel like I should. ...OpenID This is definitely a consideration, and has been brought up elsewhere in this thread. I'm definitely going to check it out, and see what's actually involved in it, since it seems a bit involved for something I'm not even sure will work. However, I do hate it when sites don't let you signup directly and force you to use OpenID. Same here. When StackOverflow launched, I didn't understand what they asking me to do to log in. I understand it now, but I've never had a reason to use my OpenID outside of the StackExchange network, so to me it's pretty much the same as having a single account for that purpose.
