Support a federated login system (please!!)

[blahah]

Users are driven away by signup forms. Federated logins are much much easier, save everyone time, and are generally more likely to be secure.

Please support them (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Persona, Github) and drop the user signup form.

@alejandrodob can we integrate this feature when we work with Jose soon?

[alejandrodob]

On PyBossa, Google, Facebook and Twitter authentication is already supported. Once we update geotagX it will automatically be available. However, there are no plans on dropping the normal user signup form, as there are still people that don't use any of the other services.

@cobismith all PyBossa servers have those sign in methods disabled by default, as you need to create an account in every service to support them.

However, you can enable them without problems. Check the following section in the documentation, where we explain how you can enable it.

Cheers,

Daniel

thanks @teleyinex and @alejandrodob this is now being factored into dev plans. Would it be possible to add Mozilla Persona login for PyBossa? Since we use a Firefox plugin and are looking at using Mozilla Open Badges for verification of volunteering, it makes sense.
