Ask HN: Does anyone depend on Clickpass to log in?
I'm thinking of getting rid of it. Is that going to inconvenience anyone?
- noodle 15y agonope. i have clickpass set up, but i never use it because its just easier/faster for me to enter my user/pwd.
- r4vik 15y agoI use it, no idea what my password is
- selectnull 15y agoMe too. I have never created a password for HN. Is there a way to create one now and keep the account?
- gergles 15y agoMe three.
- rickette 15y agoI use it. I expect more people use it, it's OpenID after all.
- caw 15y agoI use clickpass; I didn't know how to make an account otherwise. If you keep allowing me to log in from Google I'd be cool with ditching clickpass specifically.
- rileywatkins 15y agoI use Clickpass on the login page, but I would be okay with getting rid of it if I was able to migrate my account from OpenID to HN.
- nantes 15y agoI did until just a moment ago. For others that want to set up a password: I just tried logging in with my username only. I was then presented with a link to "email yourself a new password." Clicked that, had a new password in 2 second and logged in with it. I do not however, have any idea how to set my own password.
- qx24b 15y agoYou can go to http://news.ycombinator.com/changepw http://news.ycombinator.com/changepw to change your password when you are logged in. The link is available through your profile, 4th from the bottom.
- dgunn 15y agoI use it. If I have a password, I don't know what it is.
- utunga 15y agoI hated it - as it took too long to log in. But didn't know how to log in otherwise - and keep my account. Keeping access to my account was the main thing (preferred username + some karma) Fortunately, thanks to other comments in this thread I set my password - http://news.ycombinator.com/changepw http://news.ycombinator.com/changepw - and I am now more more than happy for you to ditch it (personally).
- Inversechi 15y agoThanks for this... Now I don't have to use clickpass either! Disliked the long login also.
