Does the userservicefactory in GAE only work for people with g-mail accounts?

I am trying to create a login function for my application.

I am wondering whether I can use the userservicefactory that GAE offers to create a login user ID for someone that wants to register and login whenever they please?

I have only seen the userservicefactory used when people have gmail accounts.

Cheers

The integrated user service of GAE is configured, by default, for google accounts. But that is not the only option. As the documentation states, you can also have OpenID or Google Apps authentication. It does not, however, support a custom user database. You would have to write that yourself.
