RE: New 'Login' Intent?

I think at this point the idea is just one of the "solve the nascar problem" type opportunities. I don't know how it will work, but I am watching these threads and we will be trying out ideas as we go, and the demos available. 

I think one option is for the website to be able to reference its preferred intent providers, if this is possible through the same general idea as the intent registration markup (i.e. the preference is disclosed through some markup). 

Thanks,

But how is this related to the HTTP code 401, authorization required?

Or is the "intention" to ask for a sort of single sign on gateway to carry out the actual login?  (assume the using part implies selection of alternative means, what intent is all about of course).

Still, an application server is the one to "invite" (or bluntly require) a user to login in, in order to navigate further into a service. In that case there has to be a "preference" (accepted methods) from the server side that the "LoginUsing" intent can respond/relate to?

I think this is a great idea for an Intent. We should start building out the wiki (http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebIntents) with such ideas (under "Documentation for Web Intents Actions and Types"?).

I suggest the Intent name be "LoginUsing".

Hi, folks-

Forgive me if this has been discussed before.

The default intents that I know about are 'Discover', 'Share', 'Edit', 'View', 'Pick', 'Subscribe', and 'Save'.

One of the great things about Web Intents is the ability to address the NASCAR Problem... and one of the worst offenders of that problem is the identity issue, which is made worse by the fact that it's still not really a solved problem, so there are likely to be more iterations of solutions like OpenID Connect (Google, Microsoft, etc.), BrowserID, Twitter, Facebook Connect, etc.

I propose that we have another intent, 'Login' (I don't care about the name... it could be 'SignOn', 'SignIn', 'SelectIdentity', or whatever). 
This would let users select from their choice of Identity Providers (IDPs), or to create or use a bespoke account for that specific site.

A corollary to this would be 'Comment' or 'Discuss', which is often hosted by third-party services like Disqus.
