What would happen if someone installed OpenID and confirm account on the same wiki?

Good point, this is not clear, but you can simply try it and let us know (here).

By the way, we are working on a small improvement of Extension OpenID Bug 46617 which allows admins to create new accounts by mail for wikis where the login is disallowed for anons.

Another related bug is that, even if an account is created using an OpenID and without a password, it is not possible to specify a valid email address, because that action itself requires the vaild password to be specified.

Hello, ConfirmAccount and OpenId work together on my wiki but !

If someone wants to login with OpenId they have only one option: to provide their login and password on the wiki. One has only one option:

"An existing account on this wiki"

When entering a new login and password it just says "Incorrect password entered. Please try again." So there is not option to create a new account although the button is "Log in/create account"

Hi, thanks for reporting.

What is offered depends also on your OpenID settings, see the Manual page of OpenID. And please indicate your exact version. If you run a modern MediaWiki, then I strongly suggest you run the latest OpenID version from Github.

Let me know, if I could help.

I'm running MW 1.24 alpha, using the latest master versions of ConfirmAccount and OpenID. Still when ConfirmAccount is enabled I can't create a new account since this option is disabled. I can only link to an existing account whe using a Google account. When using a Yahoo account it just returns "Verification failed" page.

"$wgOpenIDAllowNewAccountname=true" wouldn't work since I can't set "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true;" since it would defeat the whole purpose of ConfirmAccount extension.

Any other clues?
