Description

When I register using OpenID everything works perfectly until I get the activation email, which leads me to the form which requires a password. At this moment I cannot insert any password (because my account is not properly activated), and I don't even get a button for resetting the password.

gitea.com, or your own instance, or both?

gitea.com, I don't have my own instance.

Hmm .... maybe it is a bug in Gitea or a configuration problem in gitea.com, maybe some other maintainers could help to figure out.

No, I suspect, that there are just so few users of OpenID that nobody thought about it.

And of course, I would prefer if I would never have to create a password at all.

Reading this now.

IIRC the OpenID signup screen creates a temporary password which is never given to the user just because as expressed by @mcepl OpenID users don't want to deal with passwords...

Why is try.gitea.io not giving the OpenID option ? We'd want to test this there to ensure it can be reproduced.

The "forgot password" link is found on the login page, did you try it ?
For gitea.com the page would be: https://gitea.com/user/forgot_password

What is the rationale for the account confirmation screen to require a password ? I'd think a confirmation button should be enough.

Hmm, I don’t know if anything changed, but the password recovery worked now, and I got reactivation prompt only after recovering of the passport. So, no, I still don’t think it is possible to have OpenID-only account, but at least I have now functioning gitea.com account.

See also #3521 for a more generic ticket about all the places that ask for a password conflicting with password-less logins.

I see, so let’s call this a duplicate of https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/3521.
