I’ve opened this site up for user registrations and comments directly in WordPress and activated the brand new SQRL log in system developed by Steve Gibson of GRC and much discussed over the last six years on the Security Now Podcast on TWIT.
UPDATE: if you want to leave a comment with your name and an avatar (instead of the SQRL user-NUMBER) you’ll need to FIRST set an email address, go through the verification loop of that, then you can give yourself a nickname and chose that as your display name. Your Avatar will be pulled from the Gravatar site according to your email address.
If you have no idea what that is or means, you can read more on Steve’s site.
You can create accounts and log on here.
Would love to know how everyone gets on, this post is a good place for comments and we can chat over on Steve’s SQRL Forums here.
I’ve got the site working again after a few hours of mySQL problems! Would be good to see if everyone’s old SQRL logins are working as I had to repair one of the tables that’s used by the plugin.
Logging in from my phone works too. All seems good.
Seems to work fine again
Thanks for building this amazing plugin!
Nice to see sqrl getting some action.
I’ve enabled a new upgraded commenting system via a plugin (wpDiscuz).
Seems to be working nicely. I’m not allowing social logins except by direct registration on my site or via SQRL.
Very smooth account creation and login – will try logging out and back in now
I went through the email loop so I could change my display name.
That bit works. I’m thinking that an email address is probably the minimum I want from people in order to accept named comments.
This does come back to the philosophical part of SQRL which is absolutely pseudonymous and doesn’t allow the SQRL client to communicate anything to the website on first authentication.
Test from MrObvious!
Well that worked MrObvious…
It looks like this works!
I’ve just successfully logged in on my iPhone with SQRL!
There’s an issue with which page one is directed to immediately after log in. Beyond that it’s working well.
Yea after login you’re directed to /blog which doesnt show much.
Yes: also WordPress does allow you to change your displayed name but I think only after you give an email. That is probably a WordPress requirement. Lots to learn here!
Took me a few tries, the Android app thought there was a mitm, but I eventually got it. Nice work!
Comments are open but first comments will have to be approved.
Do you still need to approve comments if they come from a SQRL account?!
BTW are you the first live site using SQRL? 🙂
I’ve turned off approval, I’ll see if I get hit with spam. I don’t think that’s likely. Yes, I think I’m the first live, real WordPress site not built for testing that is using SQRL on a public facing deployment.
