<p>There is a large amount of precedent, for example mapillary,
maproulette and lots that I've forgotten. So the answer is likely
that while the website-devs are not in love with it, it is
perfectly acceptable.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm just asking
something which was raised as an issue in my Gitlab repository
for OpenTrailView (<a href="http://www.opentrailview.org"
class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk24636" previewremoved="true"
moz-do-not-send="true">www.opentrailview.org</a>; fully FOSS
360 panorama site which uses OSM ways to connect panoramas
together).
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The person who raised
the issue requested that OSM logins be used on OpenTrailVIew
rather than (as currently) its own login system. I suspect the
reason is security-related as it allows users to use an
existing trusted authentication system.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">As OpenTrailView does
not include provision for editing OSM data, I suspect the
answer is no - but is it acceptable for third-party
OSM-related sites which do not edit the data to 'piggyback' on
OSM's authentication system like this?</p>
