Shucks! I was all excited to be able to log in to high value targets, like online banking, using my Wikipedia credentials.

My hope was for the Wikimedia Foundation to come to the rescue and
provide
a non commercial alternative to what Google and Facebook offer.
I am extremely disappointed that we are not. I hope that what is done instead has at least a similar impact than leaving it all to the
commercial
boys and girls. Privacy should not be left to commerce and national
secret
services.
Our account security honestly makes us a poor choice for an auth
provider
and you should have never considered us for this anyway. We don't have password requirements, we don't offer two factor auth, we don't offer
good
ways to rescue a lost account, and we really don't want to be a target
of
attack for the purpose of owning other websites.
Also, if you're really concerned about privacy you should be putting
your
support behind Mozilla's BrowserID (Persona).
