All out wikis can be used with local accounts. However, it may be useful to use an OpenID login if you have one.

OpenID is a mechanism to log into multiple site with a single user name and password.

An important place to check is openid.net where you may find that you already have an openID from one of the services listed.

Experiences:

  • Gregor:As of 2008-07, flickr did not seem to work yet. Yahoo did, if you have an account, navigate to http://openid.yahoo.com/ and enable it for use as openID. In my case only a user-chosen name did work (https://me.yahoo.com/NAME_I_SPECIFIED). Yahoo only support OpenID 2.0, some sites may yet support older OpenID versions (but our wikis support 2.0).
