I'd like my wordpress blog to only require an email address and password for leaving comments...the current system is too long winded. Is there a good plugin to manage this for me? thanks!
Are you looking for direct comments system being applied to your Wordpress? I mean,your visitors dont have to register and they can directly comment with their email and name. Well,there ae many plugins for it.. Search for Users Permissions plugins in Wordpress Plugins directory. Also,it can be done via backend,i guess.
I guess what I want is a direct comment system. I just didn't know what it was called and all the various forms of registration, comment, easy, etc didn't return a plugin I was looking for. thanks!
You might want to look into using OpenID. There's a plugin for it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/ Good luck!
Even OpenID is a bit cumbersome. Just an email address, username and password would be fine. thanks guys.
