I am working on a blog like site where the user can register and write stuff. I want to keep a minimalist registration/sign up process.
I am thinking I will use email/password for signup/registration. The user can then enter a "pen name". Unlike username, this will be kind of like a "pseudo real name" (with spaces, for e.g).
I want to allow the user to be able to change the pen name if required. This means login will always be based on email/password. Is this a normal practice? I see a lot of sites say they can login using username OR email...
Also will this be a problem if in the future I want to integrate social login? Most important of all, as users, what do you think?
Any comments are welcome...
