Empower Users to Continue Access to Data Post-Graduation
Logging in using institutional Shibboleth is easiest for the majority of users. However, this method of authentication only works so long as they continue their institutional affiliation. Please design a way for users to select their login preferences after the initial account creation, in order to offer users the option to change their sign-in to an email address and password of their choice. This will help them continue access post-graduation, which is particularly important for graduate students.

In the login screen users can log in with their email and password or by selecting their institution from the drop down list (Shibboleth). If they left the institution they should simply use their email and password (defined when they initially created the account). They can change the email address associated with their account under Settings (to a non-institutional email), and if they forgot the password they originally defined they can click on Forgot Password.
