How would you prefer to log in at your mining pool's website?

I run my own p2pool node, so there is no need for a login.  However, if I were to run a more conventional pool, I would certainly want to have a username/password in conjunction with 2fa.

ID/Password with Second factor with a text code sent to my cell phone.

Payoutadress as Name & Password, i think.
I don't get Facebook (never!) just for login.

NB: Gummibären für immer ;-), und Schnecken natürlich.

Either two factor or Google auth.

I have a strong dislike of "just use your wallet address" pools - I trust it a bit more when I have an actual account.

Google open id is the quickest. It saves me time logging in...I log-in multiple times per day. Email log-in would also be ok. I do use authy. Have you considered sqrl login technology? see below:

I prefer using my payout address. 2FA with UN and PW is not a bad way, payout address just seems easier for everyone.

I like the open ID for most things due to it being fast and easy, however a password/txt msg code/ or some other thing would be good for the changing of settings/sending payments.

Better question.

As someone who runs a pool, and has done a damn good job doing so, which do you prefer?

[no141]

The OpenID Connect, just seems to be Google+, I still don't like Google+.

[yenzae0215]

i prefer my payout address + phone authentication

Username+Password+2 way factor google authenticator

[PatMan]

Can't believe FB is listed as an option.....that's a joke right? 

[bcm2013]

I prefer OpenID with Google.  I have Google set up to provide an SMS 2FA, if I am logging in from s new device.  This is quite convenient as I log in on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad and desktop) multiple times per day.  All of my devices are heavily secured as well.

[HerbPean]

Voted for the OPENID, but i'm all good with login/pass + second factor (SMS)

Thanks Doc !

[Flashman]

user/pass and CHOICE of second factor, google auth, SMS etc.

Google authentication is an algorithm btw and has been independently implemented, no need to trust google. You can pick up an old windows mobile device for $10 or less, put auth software on it, use it as entirely offline hardware key, etc.

I had forgotten about this. It looks very interesting and much more secure than other 2FA solutions. But are there mobile apps implementing this? Are any sites using it? Are people willing to scan a QR code every time they need to log in?

The problem with many other 2FA solutions:

Most 2FA solutions give you a one-time password on a separate device that you then type into your computer. There is a belief by a lot of users that this makes hacking impossible.

Let's review this. In many cases if you get hacked it's because someone (through a trojan or other malware) took over control of your computer. They are now looking at you through your camera, listening to you through your microphone, taking screenshots of your desktop to see what you are doing.. and they are recording every keystroke you make. When you type your one-time passwords into a compromised computer like this, you are essentially giving them to the hacker.

I wish more people would accept that..

• A one-time password/code typed into a compromised computer won't save you
• A compromised computer can become yours again, but you need to reformat your drive and reinstall the operating system from a clean source

Although if the hacker installed malware on the firmware of your laptop battery then you may wish to just burn the computer.

facebook? google? are u grazy!!!

user name + password

I prefer the convenience of Google login. I set the payout threshold such that it wouldn't be that big a deal even if it was hacked so it's sufficiently secure for me as is.

I do not like the payout address as user method as without an actual account it doesn't feel like I belong to anything.  It would also make perks very difficult to implement.
