Create a sign in help page

Create a help page to get people signed up since we need to do it the convoluted way and gahhh

+1 on this one. Since we can't handle the "3rd party" oauth as stated on #39 . It's a bit of a pain to configure the OpenID login.

[TristanWiley]

Someone make a UI and I'll make a write-up.

[Mauker1]

Will do

[TimCastelijns]

Prioritize please. I want to contribute but I can't get past the login screen (seriously).

[Mauker1]

This is indeed important @TristanWiley - It's still a pain to configure openID, and it seems that's the only way to log in.

[TimCastelijns]

@Mauker1 strangely, openID should not work at all anymore (https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307647/support-for-openid-ended-on-july-25-2018). I'm not sure how it is still working.

[Mauker1]

I guess they're still using the same endpoint perhaps? I've configured my email+password login on this URL: https://stackoverflow.com/users/login-add?returnUrl=%2Fusers%2Fcurrent

[TimCastelijns]

That might explain why I can't log in with my main user. It has only google as login. The bot can log in with the app just fine. In any case email+password is indeed the way to go.

[Mauker1]

We have discussed adding Google login on the app, but it seems it's a no-no.

Refer to #17

yeah!. Agree with tim. i had to create a login by editing on my profile page on SO, since i login with google on most stackexchange sites. It would be good if we add some description so that users know about this.
