Hi Carl At the moment you can register more than one AuthenticationHandler, but when SlingAuthenticator calls them the first one which does not return null on extractCredentials "wins" and no further AuthenticationHandler will be called. You will also be able to make an own implementation of AuthenticationHandler which checks for different ways to authenticate your user, without the need of registering multiple AuthenticationHandler. See also [1] for more details.
