I am totally bewildered now: I just wanted to interrupt delivery of
mails for four weeks (going on a visit to India), wanted to edit my
subscription correspondingly like I did for years. Couldn't log in to
anything (trying my Google account). I choose to reset my password and
received a password reset mail, telling me that my user name was
kpschrage. But this user seems to be unknown, can't log in with the new
password. What a mess ...

Not to my mind. SSO (single sign on) is, IMHO, a really bad thing. Yes,
it's easier to administer because the authentication is being handled by
someone else and you "don't have to be bothered". However, now your
security is now ENTIRELY dependent on the security of that provider. If
they're breached, YOU'RE breached. Relying on someone else to provide
your security is, again IMHO, a truly idiotic thing to do.
Note that with the options provided, you could use your *own* open
identity provider.
