Ask PG: When I login via OpenID, why does HN look at my contacts?
I use the Google OpenID method, and every time it makes sure I'm okay sharing my contacts. Is this just unavoidable when using OpenID with Google?

- dxjones 17y agoThis is particularly annoying. What can we do about it? If I don't want to use clickpass (with my gmail account) will my profile disappear? Can I substitute a different way of authenticating?
