Buries the lede. They’ve chosen to drop support for Facebook login rather than also support Apple login. So working as intended!

- philistine 6y agoBingo ! This is Apple’s really hard bargain here. Implement us or get rid of all the other garbage sign-in.
- lifty 6y agoI love it. With password managers becoming better and by owning your domain, it almost feels like a self-sovereign identity system. It would be great if services would implement better support for browser form auto-fill, and ask the minimum amount of information during signup. That way it would be very little hassle to signup for a service.
- scarface74 6y agoAnd Apple has integration points with third party password managers.
- bpicolo 6y agoOnly ~1-2 apps of the several dozen I use support them. For folk that aren't super tech savvy, still a struggle
- kodablah 6y agoAnd get rid of all the other non-garbage sign-ins too, correct?
- guessmyname 6y agoEither the changes are only for the mobile app or they forgot to remove Facebook Sign In in the web [1][2]. [1] https://www.anylist.com/auth/sign-in https://www.anylist.com/auth/sign-in [2] https://i.imgur.com/3uC0E9G.png https://i.imgur.com/3uC0E9G.png
- mrlatinos 6y agoFrom the OP: "You can expect to see an AnyList app update soon that removes Facebook Login."
- buboard 6y agoaren't they going to be asking for the real email though? email remains the best and free-est login identifier. Most people who are not complete internet plebs have a second email for things they dont trust.
- djrogers 6y ago> Most people who are not complete internet plebs have a second email for things they dont trust. The vast majority of people don’t have a second email for things they don’t trust. You’re living in a nerd-bubble, but the rest of the world is on the internet too.
- mikeryan 6y agoI'm going to be fascinated to see what this does for conversions. My company built the Neil Young Archives, when doing so we initially launched with Social log ins and at one point Neil decided Facebook and Google were evil and wanted to remove the access. According to our logs a full 2/3s of all users were registering with a social account and we were having great success getting folks to log into a free service (We had 250k sign ups over the first weekend, we thought Auth0 might turn us off as we started on a tier capped around 40k) We assumed this success would quickly taper off if it wasn't "one click" to sign up with your Google/Faceboook account an talked Neil off the ledge.
- GuiA 6y agoBut you didn’t try anything to confirm/infirm this hypothesis?
- goliatone 6y agoThis escenario seems an clear candidate for A/B testing since I would be conflicted by wanting to provide privacy but understanding it might impact user signups. Seeing some actual numbers would help me in making that decision.
- mikeryan 6y agoI don't disagree with you and it was proposed. However we didn't have A/B infrastructure in place then and on a project that may never make money it just wasn't a high enough priority to justify the spend.
- goliatone 6y agoFair enough, sometimes you have to make a decision with what you have. A/B testing adds complexity and specially when doing contract/agency work you don’t have either the time nor the budget to pull it off. Been there myself. Personally I would have considered to hack something on my own time just out of curiosity :D

- marmada 6y agoIt is very unclear to me why removing user options is a good thing. I use sign in with Google/Facebook.
