That’s great news. I never use apps that force me to login with either Google Facebook or twitter. There should always be an option to login with an email address and Apple’s login with disposable non personal email is really easy and useful.
- isofivepatoi 7y agoYes. Given the other article on the front page regarding the guy who got dragged in by the dystopian drag net, we need companies who don’t rely on keeping our information in PII form in order to make money or hold their stock value. This should be cheered by all.

- highlandinfo 7y agoYou have not read the guideline carefully or have misinterpreted it; nothing in it locks the end-user into Apple's ecosystem. The requirement is only that if the app uses a third-party authentication system (Facebook, Google, etc.), it must also offer Sign In with Apple alongside it. You're free to roll your own sign-in system, in which case you are not required to offer Sign In with Apple. Not seeing a problem here.
- buboard 7y agosign in with apple locks you into apple's caprices, there is no way around that. Apple will know where you 're signing in , and you will lose access to your account if apple decides they no longer like the app, or they no longer like you.
- onyva 7y agoFOSS person too. Don’t see the lock-in problem here other than indeed using Apple products. While you do, making sure you don't have to give identifying info or bother with generating disposable addresses yourself, is actually a good thing IMHO.
