Just the other day I wrote an Oauth login feature in Go for fun. Facebook banned my account three days later for "suspicious" activity. Twitter banned my account in 48 seconds - I didn't even have a chance to setup an Oauth token. That right there shows the problem with being reliant on a 3rd party for access to your site, what if the 3rd party refuses to work with you? Suddenly your cut off from a percentage of your users. (It wasn't all bad, setting up Amazon login was quick and painless and they didn't ban my account!)
I do wish more sites allowed TOTP (Google Auth) because it works well and avoids the third party dependency, but I'd be happiest if sites would just stopped disabling paste so I can use strong passwords with my password manager. (Synchrony Bank, I'm looking at you and all your dozens of co-branded web sites)
