Well because many services aren't just a mobile apps, and people use multiple devices, and devices have to be replaced from time to time, there are a lot of legit reasons for accounts. There are a lot of ways to mitigate having to make accounts, but many are less secure, more work, and most users at this point are use to creating an account.
- mrtksn 6y agoAccounts don’t have to be explicit. Ask only for the info that is necessary to provide your service and store it in auto generated account and provide a way to tie this account to some other account like e-mail or phone number for account restoration purposes.
- Meph504 6y agoI mean that sounds like a normal account registration process for most things that exist? what more are you typically putting in, other than an email address, maybe a username for uniqueness, etc...?
- mrtksn 6y agoThe main difference is that the user can start using the service right away and can secure the account some time later. You can use firebase accounts to manage that. Start with the anonymous account which will create an account with a random UID and use the mechanism to convert the accounts into “registered”. Pretty easy, you don’t even have to create your own custom solution.
