this is only suggested for the user facing sites. those with a gitlab/identity account would login with that account to them as well as our non user services<br>
<br>
however this doesn't seem to offer any good privacy respecting option for our users to use<br>

I agree<br>
<br>
education of privacy is something we also aim for and sending a message that this is "normal" seems off<br>
<br>
Is there any other OIDC option that isn't good enough to replace identity but could function ok for basic accounts for users? I know running more stuff isn't great?<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Our user facing sites were excluded from the original proposal. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">They will be outside our universal accounts system as there is only a small number of them (2 that I can think of - Forum and Bugzilla) and the benefit of linking them in is small (with colossal costs). </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Users will directly register on those sites. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cheers,</div><div dir="auto">Ben</div></div>
