Oct 24, 2013 at 10:34 comment added Calmarius Just a note about using Facebook connect for login: Do not require any permissions. I see a tendency that many websites ask for various permissions to register: eg. your mail address, your likes, your contact list... When a site does this I click "X" immediately. Their goal is clear: building personal profile of you to target their spam.

Aug 24, 2011 at 15:29 comment added Monica Cellio I agree with the gist of this, and add: don't force registration if using existing credentials will work. Stack Exchange, for example, doesn't have its own registration process at all, but you can log in with credentials from Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and a bunch of others. I think users see that as less hassle than having to create a whole new account, with associated password to remember.
