Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 Otto42]:
 > +1 to making the user authentication system more "pluggable". It would
 be nice if you could authenticate via OpenID, or Google's authentication
 system, or LiveID/Passport, whatever system you prefer.

 Would it be worth creating a new ticket for this?

 > One recommendation to anybody attempting to implement this: Do NOT tie
 the commenting URL into OpenID. If I leave an anon comment on somebody's
 blog and it stupidly notices that my URL is a provider, then that does not
 necessarily mean that I want to authenticate my identity. Keep the OpenID
 url as a separate field.

 Absolutely agree.
