Disable standard account registration?

Berlyn

Since the implementation of Facebook, Twitter and Github SSO, is there any chance of porting the standard account creation to an extension that can be disabled?

I know it's a niche concept, but a project I have in mind will require users to solely login with an external identity provider like Facebook or Google.

Thanks in advance guys.

Berlyn I'm not completely sure, but you might attempt to disable the functionality from an extension..

Additionally it might be true to have more say about what is enabled in terms of signup and login measures as a forum administrator.

BlackSheep Berlyn jordanjay29 maybe one of you should state a feature request that includes what's been said in this thread. So we can move it to github and add it as todo for the 1.0.0 release. Because what you say makes sense and would certainly match the "state-of-the-art" mission of Flarum.

Hey Berlyn This is an excellent idea!

It can also be a good idea to disable the mail part of the signup where you check on your inbox for the confirmation e-mail. This "verification" method and anti-spam method can easily be by-passed with something like a captcha at the signup and a way to modify the requested number of letter and other char. (for the password that you choose when you're doing the signup thing) by the administrator.

BlackSheep I could see this for Google's new rerecaptcha (the Are You Human? button with cognitive reasoning present behind it that detects behavior). The email could be a courtesy merely for notifications at that point.

jordanjay29 Exactly what i was thinking. This e-mail verification thingy is a thing of the past - it is not a sign of a non-bot account.

luceos I'll do it.
