Hi

I often get emails asking me to implement a different way of logging in to my squadron builder , usually because the sender is boycotting Facebook.

To gauge how popular this would be, I've created a quick (one question) survey here: http://goo.gl/forms/Ihrnj9i9hLkOPunv1

If you have a moment, please could you let me know which authentication provider you would prefer (or just click Facebook if you are happy with things as they already are). And don't worry - if I add a new one, I'll still keep Facebook. You won't lose your data.

Cheers

Yes!! Thank you I HATE FACEBOOK!

Voted. Though I would like to use my "account" with both log in methods.

We get to procrastinate at work on the weekends but FB is site blocked, so a 2nd log in would be useful.

i use facebook less and less but its pratical for log ins

And facebook is useful for people overseas away from friends/ family/ in addition to making foreign far away friends...

What I'll never understand is that people will make an account on forums such as these, then say they hate Facebook. When all you need to do is make a dummy Facebook and never touch it outside of account logins. Seems rather silly.

My preference would be my own username and password. I'm not fond of giving out extra info. I have known of people to create Fb or Google account just for the purpose of logging in.

And that's basically why. So they create a FB or Google account just for purpose of logging in places, and then use that one account everywhere they want to have a login - Imgur, News sites, Photobucket, etc. Instead of having to create a new, unique, login + pwd for every single different site. Just one and done. FB makes that a million times easier.

?But I guess it's really important to boycott convenience for some people, because 'the man' or something?

To be fair, Facebook really does have a pretty horrible record when it comes to changing your privacy and/or sharing settings without asking first.

There are a bunch of other OAuth providers that don't.

But if you are literally doing nothing with it EXCEPT using it as a generator of an OAuth token... who cares?

I certainly understand people who USE Facebook for a lot of things - staying in touch with local game groups, distant family members, coworkers, etc - being annoyed at Facebook's periodic privacy setting tweaks. Or those who heavily use Facebook for their stream of daily news being irritated by FB's "story prioritization" algorithms for their 'top stories'. Or etc, et al. There are legit complaints against it for those who use it significantly - although they tend to be pretty minor given everything else you get from it, they are certainly fair complaints.

But if the most extensive use you'd have of it is just an authentication provider? Good grief, nothing FB has ever done would impact you in the slightest degree!

I love facebook. I boycott the boycotters. =P

First off thank you Voidstate for looking at this.

On the subject of Facebook & Convenience I actually prefer to have disparate passwords rather than relying on one single sign-on. That way if one password is compromised the damage is limited. I'm also one of those strange people who regularly changes their passwords (well, the key ones like banks, Amazon and PayPal). You can call it paranoid but in more years than I care to think about in IT I've seen a lot of security breaches make a lot of mess.

Good news, go at least with google.

If you need help, I can provide you some advices as I implemented google, facebook, twitter and reddit login.

Bye

As have I. But, so far, every one has been the result of basically the insistence of different organizations NOT willing to use a more robust OAuth (or otherwise externally-authenticated) provider, and instead developing their own home-grown solution...or going for a commercial 'on-site' system which they then fail to update regularly. Or maintain that system locally, but then get their database hacked due to phishing attacks or some other kind of employee-vulnerability. So they get predictably compromised, then those usernames and passwords get out, and lo and behold they work on a wide variety of other systems because people - while setting up usernames and passwords on each site - tend to re-use their authentication, then etc, et al. Bad Things Happen.

...which would all be avoided by using a central provider for their user connection authentication, that has far more robust internal policies for safeguarding such data, and who never exposes the user data or passwords to the sites being authenticated against anyway , because it's just returning a temporary token.

Psst! Notice anything different?

Dude, any chance you could add the Title card for the T-70 X-wing which was in the reveal?

Thank you

I love your Squad builder there are a few thing I will PM you later. But two things.

1. In a random squad generation I got the aft half of the Imperial Raider without the other half.
2. How can I move my squads from one log-in to another?

Thanks,
