Looks really good. One issue I've had with third-party services like this is authentication. I don't want my users to have multiple logins just to comment. Is there a way to use my main site's authentication?



SSO is a planed feature. It's still pending design, but basically here's how it'd work: you'd be required to make a request to the Commento API when someone logs into your website or creates a new account. You will be a given a session token that should be served to the user so that they're identified when they load a page. No ETA on when the feature would be available, sorry!


SSO or Facebook & Twitter OAuth would be a requirement for us.

I followed the OAuth Plugin issue [0]

I also wanted to create a new issue for SSO, but Gitlab thinks I'm a spammer, so they blocked me from creating one with the cancer that is ReCaptcha.

A comment elsewhere in the thread says Twitter OAuth will be added soon.

>OAuth is supported, so you don't need a new account. If you have a Google/Github account, you're good. I'll be adding more providers soon too (Twitter/Gitlab).
