They talked about this sort of on the podcast recently. Their login process is exceptionally complicated because originally they didn't have accounts of their own, they'd only allow external authentication providers. Then they rolled their own local accounts. And they need to facilitate resetting a password but don't necessarily know which provider you want to use when you "reset". Is it a local account? Is it an external provider? You can have multiple external providers linked to the same account. Which one do you want to reset? They can't do the reset either, all they can do is point you to where you can.
There was more. But it's a real rat's nest of complexity it sounds like.
