Hi drp2179,
From a performance, security and technology standpoint, we believe all of the changes introduced in Stream 2.0 are for the best and are in the best interest of our users.
It would mean a lot to me if you could take a look at a recent interview on WP Tavern where I dive into some of the technical reasons why Stream has shifted to the cloud and uses WP.com for sign in.

I understand even if you totally disagree, no problem at all. I just wanted to pass along the information. I sincerely hope you will consider trying Stream again some time in the future.
Frankie, I wish I could edit my previous post – I think it is too harsh. I understand your reasons for the change. The product is great. Unfortunately, the changes put it outside of my normal allowances for plugins (no extra credentials).
Hi drp2179,
With Stream 3.0, we’ve rethought the way we’re handling the records. Everything’s local now, nothing stored in the cloud and that means absolutely no registration.
It would be great if you could test it out, and let me know how you go. If you like it, please consider changing your review.
Luke
