Login with remote vs. local Account
===================================
If you use a already existing remote account to log in into our service, you
don't need to create a local profile (with username, E-Mail and password).
That way, we need to store less information about you - especially no password
hash (and you also don't need to create a new password just for our service).
So, this is a little more safe if you just consider our service.
BUT: If you use some external service to log in, you of course need to trust
them for this purpose as *they* are telling "yes, this is really you".
Also, if you cancel the account on that external service and you don't have
a local profile (login, E-Mail, password) with us, you will be unable to log
in afterwards or recover access to your hosts/domains.
So maybe the best way is to first create a local profile (username, E-Mail,
password), then log in and associate your other remote accounts with that
local profile.
