Title: "Keyhotee" Identity Management in 2.0
Post by: roadscape on June 30, 2015, 08:54:58 pm

From what I understand, BitShares effectively replaced Keyhotee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZaTdEtK-8).

Is identity management still a core use case in 2.0?
Will we have BitShares Login going forward?

Neither of those are mentioned on the new site:

Hope it's just an oversight :)

I asked BM and Jcalfe about Bitshares Login for the current wallet.bitshares.org and never got a reply. That's not too surprising tho given it's legacy 0.9.x code and unless it's easy to implement not worth the dev's time to screw with.

I've got to get someting working tho for my website. Without paypal there is no other payments options open to me that I am aware of, plus bishares login fits in perfectly with my book promotion.

I also raised this in a mumble session a few weeks ago and BM said the currect scheme for authentication will not work in 2.0. I believe he also said there would be no reimplementation of it until sometime after the launch.

It's apparently not on their priority list. I am not in BM's shoes, so I can't say if it should be or not relative the the other essential features they need to complete.
