MyBB Community Forums

Hello,

I am unsure if this has already been suggested as I couldn't see any similar however I think MyBB 2.0 would benefit from native support for external registration methods such as:

• Steam
  
• Google
  
• Facebook
  
• Other main players
  

It is my belief that by implementing this feature two issues would be addressed:

1. Minimizes security concerns as majority of MyBB forums are not well guarded from experience and in the event of a breach in security where the database is accessible all passwords are handled by a trusted third party where security is a major concern.
   
2. Allows for easier registration. Once validated by a big player they simply have to connect their account meaning that more people are likely to sign up and they don't have to worry about remembering their password/username.
   

I am looking forward to the new release that has BCrypt, easier intergration and more. Keep up the good work MyBB Team.

Steam would be good as well.

FB and Google are likely to be implemented, but I don't see why Steam would be there by default. It might be popular, but it's still used mainly on gaming-related forums only.

Yes, as said I imagine:

- Facebook
- Google
- Twitter

Other methods should be added easily by adding a class (or two). We'll likely be using Socialite: https://github.com/laravel/socialite - which has Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub and Bitbucket integration out of the box.

Steam is used on a lot of technology related forums hence why I suggested it.
