Maybe it's just me, but one bummer about this kind of system is that's is A+ top security for a lot of stuff I don't care about. To create some account on a random forum to give feedback about how I got a stuck oil filter off of my '03 Civic, for example. With email+password I can just use a low security password because I'm typing on a phone. With these all-in systems my device isn't recognized so I'll need to type in some code from 2FA and type my long, unique password.
I know they're very popular, but there's so much long-term unintended baggage with using these singe signon systems...even assuming Apple's doesn't have the nefarious parts most others have.
- eropple 7y agoEven setting aside Sign In With Apple, why are you consuming mental space and energy with a reused password and whether they should be throwaways or not in 2020, when all mobile OSes and desktop browsers integrate seamlessly with password managers? Over here, I just use Face ID and 1Password does the tedious filing-and-remembering part that computers are good at.
- pfranz 7y agoI use 1Password on both my phone and desktop for logging in. Saving a new password on the desktop is easy. For the phone it seems rather tedious. Especially when, even on the desktop, many sign up pages have me submit 2 or 3 times because the username is taken, password too complex, or I didn't give them my phone number. I find it way less mental space and energy to reuse a weak password.
