in thread login with google account

If you are after a data point I can tell you that I'm in favour of hashed passwords (bcrypt or otherwise) and I would not choose to login to PerlMonks via a Google account through openidc.

FWIW, I miss BitCard.

    Me too. I prefer to keep my logins separate, and wouldn't use my Google login for PM.

      Maybe we should also have 2FA.

        Maybe we should also have 2FA.

        Let's start by fixing the plain text password problem first. It is old enough to legally drink alcohol in public, and the demonstration of the problem is nearly old enough. The monastery's pants are still down, 15 years later.

        After that, we can discuss 2FA, OpenID login, Google login, and whatever else.

        For gods, absolutely. Possibly for other cabal. For anyone else, opt-in at most.

        Github is going to be moving to 2FA next month. What a pain to deal with (as an end user).
