Ugghh seriously why does Advent of Code not let us sign up with y'know, email and password?

I do not want to link a centralized-services account [fortunately we have a Github account but UGH] to this.

So ummm what does signing up actually get you? Is there any reason to do it? I don't want to link any centralized-services stuff to this.

@noiob Huh! Well pff I don't need that then. :3

What's the "private leaderboards" thing we've been hearing about? Is that linked and also requires you to log in?

@IceWolf probably, yeah. everyone has a code for their own private leaderboard that they can share with friends/enemies, that leaderboard will score submissions similar to the global one so you can have a little friendly competition
