If tomorrow someone makes a fingerprint authentication, he should be able to install a corresponding ext with a new service and that should be it. We need some other way to do it.

One part of TYPO3 supports this "agreement" indirectly through service quality and priority variables. But the login form does not support such thing. The login form has to be reworked to depend in authentication services and get data from them. So what we need is:

i see the problem now, i wasn't aware that it depends on formfields. 
This is indeed not easy to solve. So my first thought is that EM has to 
check the dependency. May be we need an additional array in constraints 
to map dependencies to php libraries.
