<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px">My data quantifier concept tool does use OSM authentication for logins and does not edit OSM data (<a href="http://osm.hlidskjalf.is/">http://osm.hlidskjalf.is/</a> ).<br>
<br>
I never read anything where it said that OSM-auth was only for editing. So I have worked on the assumption that the answer would be yes, you can piggyback.<br>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hi,</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 rel="external nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" tabindex="-1" href="http://www.opentrailview.org">www.opentrailview.org</a>;
fully FOSS 360 panorama site which uses OSM ways to connect panoramas together).</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">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>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Thanks,</p>
