Description

This is just a wishlist, but if we could authenticate with Facebook, Twitter, GooglePlus, or JIRA/Confluence. All these applications generally use OAuth 2.0. I'm not sure how much work this would be, but I think it would be a cool setup.

It might also require for the Authentication framework to allow chains of Authentications modules, i.e. more than one...

I also think that a Facebook, Twitter, etc, API key and token has to be made, which I can do for testing, but every admin who wants to set this up will need to create an app for it.

Still a good idea me thinks, if anyone is up for the challenge.
