We also offer multiple third-party signup solutions for our service in addition to "traditional" e-mail based signup. For every service we retrieve and store the users' e-mail address on our server (we also need that to e.g. send out invoices) and enable e-mail based login and password reset/generation by default (you can disable it or add 2FA), so your account will not be lost just because your OAuth provider blocks your credentials.
- sneak 6y agoThat's great, but I'd wager that a majority of users that use Google login are doing so @gmail.com, so their email address is also toast if their Google account is suspended. I suppose you, as a site operator, are doing all you can do, though.
- lovelearning 6y agoWon't the password reset link of a blocked Google user get emailed to their inaccessible gmail inbox?
- Jochim 6y agoI think it's to protect against the Identity Provider revoking access to the service you're dealing with rather than them blocking your account. We saw this recently with "Sign in with Apple" and Epic Games, where Apple denied access to Epic and the accounts that did not share their actual email were effectively lost.
