Ask HN: What will be consequences if Ymail is shut down permanently?
This is just a hypothetical question which popped up in my mind when I was using an yahoo email to authenticate a service and suddenly remembered yahoo is getting sold. what happens if the buyer decides to shut it down.
- herbst 10y agoSee why proprietary oAuth is actually not the best idea ether? I remember years ago i hosted my own auth server, and many websites actually let you put in your own "auth uri". Was that oauth as well? What happened with this?
- priteshjain 10y agoI am not even talking of oAuth yet, was looking at plain email/username - password combination.but yeah oAuth is a big factor too. How do I do a forget password if the email is going to end up in some dead land.
