Should WordPress signon be the only way to sign on A8C? #52

Open scripting opened 8 months ago

scripting commented 8 months ago

A remaining issue from the implementation of WordPress signon.

The advantage of supporting only WordPress signon is that the signon process becomes simpler and faster.

As it stands now, with WP signon is a hard-to-find alternative to email signon.

One of the problems I have with this is that I still haven't been able to change the email address of my wordpress account.

I did get a support email, but they ignored my report, and gave me what appears to be a stock answer -- the same message the software gives me, that I should click the link in a the confirming email. This is standard practice not just in WP, and I think I know how to do this, but I swear there is no such link in the email. I have tried this repeatedly. Not asking for special treatment, looking for a workaround.

PS: I imagine it's possible that my account is so old that there are bugs that show up with it that don't show up with older accounts?

In the meantime, I'm not really able to test this feature well.

Just about done with this as of Nov 14.

One interesting issue is that we can't prevent someone from trying to create a new account by signing on with wordpress.

We will not actually create the account if the feature is disabled, and there will be an error dialog with a decent message.

Also there's no need for Sign Up and Sign On with wordpress because they do the same thing.
