Registering for an account needs explanation #162

Description

@stappan

Issue: I'm not sure if ORCiD is required, it's not clear up front that ORCiD is helpful/needed.

  1. Click Register on InterlexNext homepage. [I registered for an account today, under the username stappan, I filled in the requested fields],
  2. Click "register", 2 new windows opened up.
    first was blank, second was a request to sign into ORCiD.
    [Sandbox ORCiD doesn't accept my actual ORCiD credentials. receive error message]
  3. return to InterlexNext homepage
  4. select login
  5. type in credentials.
  6. successful. login accepted.

Issues and questions:

  1. if ORCiD is needed and used by Interlex,
  • the initial login should provide that information upfront.
  • do we need the username/password method of creating an account? (i.e., would we select to use ORCiD -or- email / username pair)?
  • is it important that the username and email is linked to the ORCiD ?
  • should i be able to login even if i don't have my ORCiD added to my account?
  1. if ORCiD is not needed, i'm not sure why upon selecting register that it calls up ORCiD login.
