Present username selection box after login

I'm interested in this, too. Fortunately, users can change their usernames (if it's allowed in the access controls) to something more readable. Unfortunately, users can't always be expected to do this.

Unfortunately, it's not part of the current Yahoo! API but that, and other requested features, will likely show up in future versions. For the moment, I'm working on a version of this module that will let existing users authenticate using this API. Or, possibly, make selection of a "friendly" username mandatory upon successful authentication with Yahoo. Which is a more important feature?

They're both important, but if I had to say then my preference is for the former (allowing users who already have accounts to sign in via Yahoo). My reason is that I don't want people who already have accounts to sign in via Yahoo and suddenly have a second account. There are a lot of problems I see going with that scenario.

Being shown a "please choose a username" prompt when logging in is a good idea, but I hope that support for the legal module (or perhaps login destination?) comes before that. Right now, users who login via Yahoo bypass the terms and conditions.

Friendly username. Ideally, on successful login, this module would present a simple "enter your local username" field.

For bonus points, do this and then re-direct to /user(edit) to fill out the rest of local account settings.

Renamed to scope feature request, as it looks like extended Yahoo data is only going to be available in future versions.

Use the same thing with vbulletin and let you choose a username with vbulletin, login in and then let choose a username or a nickname

There's a way of finding out someone's yahoo nickname by using the flickr api: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.people.getInfo.html
I've build a yahoo/flickr authentication module (prototype stage) that uses this; you can find it here:
