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.

wahnfrieden Jan 15, 2022 View on HN

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.

Using OpenID makes the rest of the techniques moot (except for OpenID providers), right?

Have you considered using OpenID authentication?

geon Dec 28, 2011 View on HN

Couldn't it be implemented as an Open ID provider?

diminoten Feb 24, 2019 View on HN

OpenID isn't built like that...
