OAuth option? #46

Open mkoo opened 8 years ago

mkoo commented 8 years ago

Is it too early to consider OpenAuth? (http://oauth.net/) Maybe even Google Sign-in --https://developers.google.com/identity/

major (obvious) considerations:

security
ease for user to use a pre-existing authentication
reduces the 'casual' registered user

Server side validation is currently block on PHP version ( Needs PHP 5.4.5+, Annie is on PHP 5.3.3). Javascript validation can be implemented on Annie though.

See this StackOverflow answer, resulting in this error:

So right now we can get a token, and access local tokens, but can't validate previously obtained tokens back against the server, pending the PHP version.

Remember we really should move to aldo and stop using annie.... I wouldn't do any more specific coding for annie if possible.

@JoyceGross Yeah, I suppose I should get credentials set up then, on Aldo...
