Well, it's not anything to do with the project. It's just the nature<br>
of federated identity management (whether SAML, OpenID, or whatever<br>
proprietary thing Google and Facebook are using today).<br>
<br>
In that environment there are two things that can happen at login<br>
time. Either you have an account with an identity provider that is<br>
accepted by the application you're attempting to login in to (the list<br>
you see is all the ones we currently accept) or you don't. If you<br>
don't, then you need to create one. In our case, ProtectedNetwork<br>
happens to be an identity provider that allows anyone to register a<br>
new account.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The problem for me is in your last phrase. I don't know what or who ProtectedNetwork is. To me, the name already sounds like it's a scam ;)</div><div><br></div><div>
I wouldn't want a party that I don't know or trust to manage my identity. So to answer your other question of it's matter of effort to fill out a form, or a matter of security/privacy: it's both.</div><div>
