From a UX perspective, I do want to allow people to log into their accounts using any of their registered and validated email addresses. People very often forget just which address is subscribed to which mailing list, so it really shouldn't matter which one they use to get into their account.
We should check out which external app allows for multiple emails to be set. Or which ones allows for easy customization to do so at least.
Further, I have a strong personal preference for "no user names", or alternatively, using email addresses as their "user name". I think user names are essentially contrived extra information for which there's no need, when clearly your identity is your email address. I liked this about Persona.
I agree, especially since even though we now have HyperKitty, there will probably always be many folks whose interface of choice for Mailman is email, and who will not use the interface very often. Remembering usernames for sites you last visited 20 months ago is awful.
I just found another solution: django-allauth http://www.intenct.nl/projects/django-allauth/ http://django-allauth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth
It's a relatively large project. It has 2000+ stars and about 800 forks on github. The other two I introduced can't get these values when adding them together.
About their functionalit quoting from their docs:
- Signup of both local and social accounts
- Connecting more than one social account to a local account
- Disconnecting a social account – requires setting a password if only the local account remains
- Optional instant-signup for social accounts – no questions asked
- E-mail address management (multiple e-mail addresses, setting a primary)
- Password forgotten flow
- E-mail address verification flow
They are basically supporting every OAuth provider out there
They have more signals than the other two projects I introduced. Some of them are:
- when a user signs up
- when a user adds an email
- when the user removes an email
I didn't look at the code yet but I think they are only using emails and not usernames.
I will try to integrate it in the next couple of weeks and see if we should create a sepparate app for that or do the work in both projects
