      I’m not pleased with the authentication/account creation options this NodeBB community offers. Why can’t I create a new account with a separate e-mail address and password instead of being required to recycle an existing account through OAuth? This is a bad idea in terms of security, privacy and mail sorting/filtering. Moreover, when I tried to sign up through GitHub, the verification e-mail never arrived, and when I tried Twitter, I got an error message (see below). Google+ finally worked, but with the caveats mentioned above.

      Can the option to create a separate account with a new user name/e-mail address and password be added (like on most sites)?

      Error for Twitter signup:
      Internal error.
      Oops! Looks like something went wrong!
      /community/auth/twitter
      {“errors”:[{“code”:32,“message”:“Could not authenticate you.”}]}

      (On a side note, I can’t call making me wait for 20 minutes before I can post this message exactly user-friendly either.)
