When you go and register on a new message board, do you prefer to make a new username/password combo, or do you prefer to log on with another site's ID (like Facebook, Google, etc).
I am a web developer, and I'm wondering how important that is to include on a website. So, what do you usually do? Do you use a Facebook (or Google, or OpenID, etc) ID everywhere you go, so you only have to worry about one username/password, or do you create a new (and hopefully unique) ID everywhere you go?

I'd prefer to have a different login combo for each site. I never liked the idea of having everything linked to my Facebook account.  Plus, it just doesn't seem secure - if someone gains access to your Facebook, they'd gain access to everything else, too. |

Same username for all. If you see my name on another site, that's probably me. ;D

I tend to use the same username, but different passwords and I hate the idea of linking forums and other sites to my facebook or twitter or even my email as a login. I don't mind it as a choice, just don't like being forced to.

I like being able to login with an existing ID, but not if the site still makes me fill out another registration form after linking my Facebook or whatever. A lot of sites only use the Facebook link to get username and email, and then still ask you to fill out tons of other stuff, which is pointless |

Same username for all. If you see my name on another site, that's probably me. ;D Yeah, I usually do that. Sadly, I registered here many years back, and lost both the password and the email address to my original account.  Anyways, so according to everyone so far, most people prefer to create a new account (username/password) for each site, and a couple have signed on with accounts from other sites (though are annoyed when they still have to fill out site-specific information). Second question (though feel free to continue answering the question in the first post), if you were only given one option (you could only log in with a Facebook, etc account, or you had to create a new account), would that deter you from registering on said site? |

I'm scared. Google is stalking me.  Look! I shortened the URL and it DOES work! ;D |

This is my signature achievement.
