I would suggest using OpenID, I've had much better experiences with that.
that was a thing with openid but it pretty much died out.
I'd like to suggest supporting OpenID instead of making me create another user/pass.
those are ideas on a shelf. even stackexchange dropped openid years ago
It'd be nice if it supported OpenID.
OpenID logins would be fantastic.

Have you considered using OpenID authentication?
Couldn't it be implemented as an Open ID provider?
OpenID isn't built like that...
