PokerDIY offers users 3 additional ways to log in besides the normal username/password. You can enter your OpenID, LiveID or use your Facebook credentials to sign in. This is all thanks to the core and additonal parties Authentication Providers.

You may be curious to know how many users are logging in via each provider - thanks to Stuart from Cirrious (creator of the Facebook Connect Provider) for his assistance. Run this SQL to see the different user logins (note, you may have to prefix the USERAUTHENTICATION table if you use a DBOwner on your DotNetNuke DB) :

 

SELECT COUNT(*) AS FacebookConnect FROM USERAUTHENTICATION WHERE AUTHENTICATIONTYPE='Facebook'

SELECT COUNT(*) AS OpendID FROM USERAUTHENTICATION WHERE AUTHENTICATIONTYPE='OpenID'

SELECT COUNT(*) AS LiveID FROM USERAUTHENTICATION WHERE AUTHENTICATIONTYPE='LiveID'

 

The results were interesting.

On PokerDIY 82 people are logging in with Facebook accounts, 51 with LiveIDs and only 10 with OpenIDs. Great to know that it is being used! Care to share your stats?
