Password authentication is now available
Published on February 27, 2023 by François Hodierne

After being completely passwordless since our beginning in 2015, it was about time!

You can now set a password on your Open Collective account. The feature is available for everyone from the new "Security" section of your personal settings.


While we're happy finally making this available, we still think passwordless is relevant and it stays the default today, setting a password is completely optional.

For people deciding to do so, we recommend to use a strong password handled with a password manager (such as 1Password). When setting a password, we also recommend to setup Two factor authentication (2FA) with an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator). Remember to avoid using your password manager for 2FA as this will technically not add a second factor and will not increase your security!

In case you lose your password, you will still have the possibility to sign in or reset your password per email, 2FA will keep being honored.

Thanks! This does improve the situation :]

I would recommend, since you're great proponents of passwordless, to take a look at passkeys https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/

You can use them in a supported browser today, such as with a Yubikey, or Windows Hello and provide a very sound passwordless implementation. Big announcements from for example 1Password are expected this year as well. https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/

And the work put into this to support the future of passwordless, should also translate well into supporting U2F as a much stronger alternative to the TOTP based 2FA that's currently available :]

Appreciate the update! I’m trying this on my own site, and enabling password authentication along with 2FA has been really smooth. Implementing it for  delta roblox made account security much stronger and the setup process was surprisingly easy.

Appreciate the update! I implemented this on my Carpet Cleaner page, and enabling password authentication together with 2FA worked perfectly. It noticeably improved account security, and the setup process was quite simple and straightforward.

That’s a great update — stronger password authentication is a big step toward better security and user trust. As more industries move toward connected systems and smart automation, secure access becomes even more important. This is especially true in areas like digital media vending, where modern platforms rely on both convenience and protected user interactions to deliver a seamless experience.

That’s a great update—password authentication really helps improve account security and user control. It’s always better to have an extra layer of protection, especially for websites handling user data. 
I’ve started paying more attention to security on my own site as well, even though it’s more content-focused like a cocktail bars menu, but keeping things safe and updated is still important .

 Nice update — password authentication definitely makes things simpler for users while keeping access secure.
 Just make sure proper encryption and backup login options are in place to avoid lockouts.
 I recently saw a smooth implementation on a hospitality site’s cocktail bar menu, where the experience stayed seamless without hurting usability.

That’s a great update. Password authentication is still one of the simplest and most familiar login methods for users, especially when combined with proper security practices like 2FA, rate limiting, and encrypted password storage. A smoother authentication system can also improve overall user trust and retention.
I recently implemented some login and security improvements while working on a data-driven platform related to immigration processing timelines, and even small authentication changes made a noticeable difference in user experience and account safety. Projects like https://perm-timeline.com/ that handle user interactions and tracking tools really benefit from stable and secure authentication systems.

 Password authentication is now available, making login more secure and easier for users. This update improves account safety by reducing dependency on older login methods. Users can now access their accounts with better protection and smoother authentication flow. If you are using tools like  https://alightmotionapppro.net/  or similar apps, make sure your login method is updated for uninterrupted access. Always keep your credentials secure and use official platforms for login.

 This is a great update because password authentication makes login processes more flexible and user-friendly. It can help reduce dependency on other methods and improve accessibility for users who prefer traditional login systems. Security is always a key concern, so it’s also important that proper encryption and protection measures are in place. Features like this usually improve both user experience and system reliability when implemented correctly. Overall, it’s a useful step toward smoother authentication flow.
