Diaspora* authenticate

DU nio Public Seen by 76

Hello guys, there is many usefull (IMO) things such as "Login with Facebook", "Login with Twitter" an some others.
Will diaspora have this feature?
I vote for it, this will be famous and it can be integrated for example there: http://everyauth.com/

After this many users can be logged on applications with own diaspora* account.

I am guessing the community will be opposed to this since most of the sites listed are "evil", however I think it would be a positive and help adoption rates. Too bad things like OpenID never really made it, that would be ideal.

I really haven't any bad suggestion on this idea.
Ok, you can sad Facebook is evil, but is there reason to absolutely deny this idea?
There is many positives.

I prefer a universal ID for the whole diaspora network, which you can login to your account on every server. I don't like real e-mail adresses for this. And then the other Problem. Wenn two users use the same callname, you have to show the users e-mail adress too, or there will be many confusions. That will be no problem with a
unique diaspora ID.

This is something that technically can be done, in fact Diaspora used to be an OAuth2 provider. We've had discussions on Loomio about going with either OAuth, OpenID, or something else altogether.

If I see another “Login with Facebook” or “Login with Twitter” button, I think I might vomit.

Me too @sethmartin , that's disgusting.
By having this option for diaspora* certainly would rise its number of users quickly, but in some cases (login to some evil sites) maybe doesn't worth for diaspora* to be there.
That's the point: how many pros and cons diaspora* would get by enabling a feature like that? A mapping of this (and the voting of course) would tell what to do next.

I really dont' think, that we need that. Like Michael Moroni said, I would prefer persona. There are so many providers like Google, Facebook, Twitter, OpenID (and then Persona). Why should we build another one?

Maybe we should just implement Persona to the diaspora login. That would be awesome.
