After the last talk on distributed auth, I started doing some research
on how to make it simpler for people to log into our website without
creating yet another account. Most large internet properties (google,
yahoo) act as openid providers, though it's a bit cryptic on how to use it.
Fortunately there is a nice openid_selector piece of javascript that
does the heavy lifting. So now you can log in with any of these other
providers from the front page.
If you already have an account and want to use other credentials
instead, log in, then go to http://mhvlug.org/user and the OpenID
Identities tab. If you click on any of those providers while logged in,
it will link them to your account.
Enjoy,
-Sean
