Hi,

>From your signature I see your fas login…
You already have an openID as a Fedora contributor!
Your unique url is "nippur.id.fedoraproject.org"

You have the choice to not use it, but unfortunately we (Fedora, not
the website team) don't provide other authentication method, yet.
Please see the following questions:
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/501/can-i-login-in-without-openid
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/55/feature-request-fas-login-support-in

The wiki page concerning ask.fedora is there[1], feel free to contact
the team under irc (or by email).
The websites team have nothing to do with this service.
