Closed kylescottmcgill closed 12 years ago

Is there any time frame on other authentication methods? EG: Open/Google Authentication? Regardless im going to look into this myself, im happy to fork this if you would also like to support other methods in future?

We are using "easy-oauth". It would be very easy to implement for instance facebook. Now using only twitter is very easy to identify nicknames and fetch the pictures.

We are not planning to add other services but you are welcome to fork and add others. If we like the changes you introduce, we can merge a pull request.

@kylescottmcgill If you want, take a look at passport.js. Pretty cool stuff.
