Announcing: Support for GitHub Authentication in Stack Overflow
by Geoff Dalgas on November 11, 2019 We are always looking for ways to make it easier to be a part of the Stack Overflow community. One of the ways we make things easy is by offering the option to log in via other services, like Google or Facebook. As of today, we’re adding another option to log in – GitHub! What this means to you is that you can now sign in to Stack Overflow by choosing GitHub when logging in, just like you can do now with Google or Facebook.
Director of Information Security
At Stack Overflow, our mission is to serve developers. Whether we’re helping developers get answers to their questions or find new jobs, we build products that make millions of developers’ lives better every day. Our newest product, Stack Overflow for Teams, allows teams to ask and answer questions on Stack Overflow in a private space. This puts security at the center of our company strategy.
Upcoming login changes (Stage 2 now LIVE)
As y'all know, our current flavor of "global authentication" leaves a few things to be desired. It's flaky, requires a page refresh, etc. etc. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just sign in once and be automatically logged in across the network? We are ready to roll out Stage 1 of Project "Make Authentication Suck Less". It is live as of a few minutes ago.
How dangerous is flying in a single-engine plane?
Since Geoff took the devil's advocate position, I'll play cheerleader. If you look at the statistics another way, like AOPA does, you'll find that General Aviation has "about one-sixth as many accidents on a per-vehicle-mile basis" compared to driving. Or to put it another way I'm 6 times more likely to get in a car accident driving to the airport as I am doing an equivalent number of miles puttering around in the pattern (my drive isn't that far - it's only worth a few laps around the pattern).
