Open ID is easy enough, but I do think that two factor adds security although its inconvenient at times.. Bitminter user (Bitvest)
Two factor does help security some.
How to turn on two-factor authentication for some OpenID providers: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4892396

On my pool ~20% of the active miners are address based, so yeah certainly allowing both address based and login account based is pretty much mandatory IMO.
Can't believe FB is listed as an option.....that's a joke right? 
I couldn't agree more.
Personally I like an aesthetically pleasing and practical interface therefore wallet address systems are out, login or public platforms.
Everyone knows how to create a username and password so why change something that works. Add a little 2FA for security and your set.
Name and password + second factor all the way, typically with Google Auth or SMS.
No complex centralized login needed (username/password as payout address, is a nice safe decentralized solution) don't think the entire website need to be public cause of that)
- that got my 2 cents, all day long.
Why use centralized controls when you don´t need to?
and for all who don't like to use centralized US tracking services it would be nice to at least have this option ..
Keep up the good work fellow Northman.
PS: don't eat to much Haribo... not all dentists take BTC :-)

That's a great solution if you've got a reasonable amount of power, but for some of us, payments would be a bit dusty.
IMO best option would be "No login (user name is payout address, entire website is public)". Why would a user need to login if there is no need to withdraw manually?. Just set an automatic payment (similar to Eligius) and make all stats public.
If it raises your hackles to use "google" anything, see alternative implementations of authenticator in this version of the wiki article (current, but some wikidiot keeps removing the 3rd party stuff periodically) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Authenticator&oldid=643155923

No, I'm fine with Google products generally, just not authenticator. Much prefer to use a Yubikey.

I like 2fa, but only of the yubikey type. I really don't want to use Google authenticator.
user name and password, with 2fa (or email confirmation) for critical events, such as change email, change address, manual withdrawals and change of perks/donations
Yahoo OpenID was unstable for a while, maybe an hour of downtime per week. Then they crashed hard and their OpenID server was down for 3-4 days. I believe Yahoo mail was down at the same time. This came as a surprise as I had not expected Yahoo to be this unstable and take that long to fix their broken servers.
Yes, yahoo started to deteriorate all over in the first half of last year, I thought they were circling the drain, but all of a sudden, things started working right again. I maybe only get 1 in 3 mails sent to my old yahoo mail accounts though.
Voted!

How would you prefer to log in at your mining pool's website?

I prefer to use BTC payment address as username. Site should be publicly open.
Security can't get better than this. There's no password to hack - you mine on your BTC address, period.
And the side benefit is, you don't have to create accounts on numerous pools, remember them all and also worry about getting one of them hacked.

I like authy but that's a personal pref. I like having the second security layer.
