You do not see how lack of built-in authentication increases complexity of implementing your own website as opposed to "outsourcing" stuff to Gmail, Google Docs and so on? You don't see the zillion "sign in with Google" buttons all over the web? You don't see how cookies are abused for tracking, which benefits Google orders of magnitude more than it would a smaller company?
- y4mi 7y agoDo you even know what "sign in with Google" means? It's in no way easier than adding keycloak authentication for example, which is another (selfhosted) external authentication solution. Social auth isnt there to make authentication easier for the website owner. He still has to do everything he'd have to do if he didn't use it. It's there for the users, do they don't need to remember a bazillion passwords
