For my game site, I didn't want people to have to deal with passwords. I first tried to use google/facebook signon, but I found the code to be annoying to maintain (google and fb would change their APIs on a whim and really obscure the location of their settings for reasons unknown) and even my friends would rather not use those services. At some point I decided instead to just automatically sign people in and give them auto-generated usernames.
