No, my apologies for not clarifying. The user accounts remain in-tact, and therefore can be assigned working passwords through the standard "Forgot Password" feature in vBulletin which resets the password via email. If you use the Janrain Engage plugin and decide at a later time to disable or uninstall it you should create a sticky post or email users notifying them that they will need to go through this process to be able to log in.

I thought this would be good to utilize, but can't get it to work....

Also you can see a demo on a wordpress site i found...

I'd like to know
- Does it play nicely with the intergrated facebook connect?
- what happens to existing accounts, if I uninstall the mod?
- Is the 2,500 limit new registrations per year or a hard limit?

Like woopra did.

nice idea, but the part where you may have to pay

why not just use openID for the logins, it's already around?

I must be missing something about this mod and the associated business model ...

I use this on my site, for the Wordpress blog section.
If It could get real email instead of proxy email it would make things easy.
I run Vbulletin 3.7 with no problems as do many people.
Making a plug-in for that would be amazing!
It is real simple they make money if you sign-up for their plans, they are a business the free plans work great for small sites. Larger sites may pay for the service, but as simple and easy as this site is to use I don't see a downside.

These are some tips for members who are curious about Janrain in general.
I don't have the vbulletin plug-in installed but desperately want a 3.7 version.
This was the #1 requested Plug-in to janrain by a 100 to 1 margin from website owners.

Positives:

• One Click Registration
• Increased sign-ups
• Reduced spam
• Very Functional

Downside:

• Free version has low limit of users
• Doesn't work with vbulletin 3.7
