Use this as a launch option, without the quotes, if you want to use an Arenanet account. Note that this option is case sensitive (thanks Infyra!):

"-provider Portal"

Link to my controller configuration:

steam://controllerconfig/1284210/2853196530

Note that you have to configure the following keybinds in GW2 for the config to work properly:

Toggle Action Camera: . (Period)
AoE Loot: C or F

If you want the radial mount and mastery skill menus to work properly, you'll have to either change the controller config to match your existing keybinds (Action Set "Mounts"; Right Stick and Right Touchpad) or change your keybinds in GW2 to the following:

Category "Mounts":
Raptor Mount/Dismount: Page Up
Springer Mount/Dismount: Page Down
Skimmer Mount/Dismount: Home
Jackal Mount/Dismount: End
Griffon Mount/Dismount: Insert
Roller Beetle Mount/Dismount: Delete
Skyscale Mount/Dismount: 0 (NUM)
Siege Turtle Mount/Dismount: Decimal (NUM)

Category "Mastery Skills":
Start Fishing: ]
Summon Skiff: '
Set Jade Bot Waypoint: =
