"I've always wondered which one of the two is more user friendly".
Well, I'd say neither one. I personally prefer OAuth and a sign in with X (github, google, facebook, etc).
This gives the user the most flexibility and quickest/easiest sign-in/register experience. They also get to pick and choose what you get access to and depending on what you need the user might not have to even give away his email.
- zhte415 9y agoYup, this. But I'd give the option for email or username too, because some people like myself are oldskool and don't want discrete identities linked together. But for OP - prioritise it. You could design for a plethora of options. Choose the easiest use-case for you and your audience, and then do other higher priority stuff, and then come back to lower priority login method choices.
- altern8tif 9y agoProblem with this is that you assume your users will either have a github, google, facebook login. While that may cover most people, there are increasing numbers of online users choosing to delete their facebook or google accounts. If you want to use a third party login, remember to also provide a more traditional login option as well (email/username).
