I am new here and I saw that the LN wallet I can link must support lnurl-auth that is 04 auth base specs in the table there. It lists
Alby, Balance of Satoshis, Blixt, Breez, coinos, LNbits, 
@lntxbot, Phoenix, SeedAuth, SeedAuthExtension, SimpleBitcoinWallet, 
ThunderHub, Zap Desktop, Zeus
I have not downloaded all of them, but I am looking for a simple light weight LN wallet that I can use on Android, OSX and on Windows, for stacker.news and more generally.
Which wallets do you use?

Since you already have an account I'm guessing that you logged in with email, right? You are good then, you don't need to login with LN wallet, it wouldn't give you much extra.
If you want to fund your SN account, then you have couple options:

You should use the one that you mostly use for your regular LN payments. The one that you are the most familiar with.

I use Wallet of Satoshi but it does not seem to support lnurl-auth, and it's not in that list at 04 Auth base spec .

Breez wallet despite being not lightly does support ln-address and ln-auth.

I recommend using Lightning login if you will be managing/backing up your own node key. If you lose your wallet, you won’t be able to login anymore.
All those wallets are fine but I’d pick the one you’re going to use the most.

Is there a plan to allow later connection to email (or some other form of recovery?)

I signed up with email. So my concern is not recovery, but just a simple convenient cross-platform wallet that supports lnurl-auth that i can connect here.

Well, I use Pheonix. Blue Stacks is a program that lets you run android applications on windows, and it looks like Blue Stacks version 4 is available for Mac OS. Blue Stacks 5 for Mac OS is still in development though. https://www.bluestacks.com/
Pheonix is a lightweight self-custodial wallet, however, they do all the lightning network channel management for you so that can be a desirable and undesirable thing. Desirable because its as simple and hitting send or recieve, undesirable because maybe you want to establish your own lightning network channels and connect to nodes other than Pheonix's nodes.
