improvement on signup page

[medss19]

currently the user has two options - signup via github directly via oauth, secondly -> the user inputs the username, email and password. I think instead of allowing the user to input his/her username, we should directly allow them to login via github auth, that will increase the security and will remove this redundant signup! this will also then fix the issue #1327 as it will prevent the user signing up on the bealf of other users. any suggestions?

@medss19 I think we can implement the github auth

I have implemented this -

I'll transfer the ownership to you 😊

any suggestions? This will allow the only verified users to login with legit github account. No need of signup, there would be a direct login! Let me know if this is okay, I'll create a PR then or with the added changes if you say.

I suggest we move to a GitHub OAuth-only signup flow. It’ll significantly improve security, simplify onboarding, and eliminate redundant username/email/password fields. This also directly addresses #1327 by preventing users from signing up on behalf of others. Centralizing authentication through GitHub keeps identity management clean, consistent, and far less error-prone.
