Description

If rustypaste supported (optional) signup via social auth providers, it’d be easier to offer it as a hosted service for anyone who doesn’t want to run it by themselves.

This would also allow for indie-auth upstarts and federated identities to integrate with rustypaste.

Some prior art: https://github.com/RomainMichau/ActixWeb_openIDConnect/ https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist (supports OAuth logins)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing OAuth/OIDC libraries for Rust (e.g., actix web oidc) and study the authentication flow in opengist (https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist) to understand how social logins are integrated. Then design a similar integration for rustypaste.
