adding an Oauth authentication

Itch.io has Oauth authentication, it’s just not formatted like other services like google, discord, etc.

Instead of saying something like “login with itch” this is the page:

IE not something I’d ask end users to login with.

Better OAuth would be super nice for web games, but we just need to make sure It’s not super harsh for end users while still telling them what OAuth allows devs to do.

Something designed to only access username/display name & a UID doesn’t need such a harsh screen.
Something like a “connect to itch/login with itch” screen would be great.

Whoa, I didn't know that! In that case we don't need that many features.

Exactly, if there was a way to login using the same session, and having access to username would be perfect!
