Eric, it's possible to allow users to sign in to ORCID using their 
institution's credentials: 
https://members.orcid.org/api/integrate/institution-sign-in .  ORCID 
offers lots of tech support, as does the ORCID US Commumity ( 
https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/orcid-technical-support.aspx ). 
  If you're not finding what you're looking for, I suggest posting to 
the discussion forum of the ORCID US Community: see 
https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/orcid-community-resources.aspx

While people will be able to use much of the service sans authentication, the system's complete set of features will only be accessible after authentication. I don't need nor want to store usernames or passwords. Yuck and scary. Moreover, people don't need YAUAPC (Yet Another Username And Password Combination). I think ORCID may be a good way for me to enable people to authenticate. Provide people with a link, they authenticate via ORCID, I get a unique identifier for the person, and I know they are not some sort of robot. Moreover, based on the content of the resulting ORCID ID, I might be able to provide enhanced services of some kind.
