Sign in with X to comment

You can now sign in with X to comment on any Namegarage blog post. Choose the X circle under the comment form, approve the Namegarage app on X, and you are back on the post with your X name beside the box. There is no new password and no form to fill in.

What X grants, and what we use

When you approve the app, X grants it read access to your profile and to the posts you can view. X ties profile access to that post permission, so a sign-in cannot ask for less. Namegarage uses the profile read only: your account name and the provider you used appear beside your comment. We do not read or store your posts, never post from your account, never read your messages, and never see your X password. You can remove the app at any time under Connected apps in your X settings.

The same moderation

Comments still go through review before publication, whichever account you use. Your email address stays private, and you can read posts and approved comments without an account. See the comment privacy notice for storage and removal details, and the earlier announcement for how Google, GitHub, and Apple sign-in work.
