I’m using Discourse for my Minecraft server’s forums. I was going to make my own forum but didn’t have the time and it of course wouldn’t be as good. I do like my authentication scheme, though: Register online, verify ingame, use in game name and website password to sign in. Discourse seems to required an email even if I did make a custom SSO solution though. Is this possible or do I have to make my users use emails?
