It is already. From the Show HN Guidelines[0]:

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.

> A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage.

> If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't put "Show HN" in the title. Once it's ready, come back and share it then.

> For example, blog posts, email signups, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they don't count as Show HNs.

It doesn't sound like that's proscribing user registration (account creation), more just stuff like e-mail newsletters.
