Thanks for your interest in Bonfire and the #OpenScience flavour! We'd like to clarify a few things to clear up any confusion:
- ORCID authentication is optional: it's only active if the instance operator chooses to enable it by adding an ORCID API key.
- Uses open standards: the integration uses OpenID Connect / OAuth2, just like most modern federated login systems.
- Operators have other choices: any SSO provider can be added, including adding multiple providers side by side.
