I will not use sites that require login via a proprietary third-party service (e.g. Facebook, twitter or Google). I do not want my online identity locked-in to a third-party site I don't control. I understand offering these as options, even making them the default, but don't make them the only way to use your site.
Offer an on-site login or OpenID as an option, or I will not use your site.
- splish 15y agoAlong the same sentiments here, is utilizing facebook login part of a larger strategy here? Curious as to why it's the only option for users to interact with the site.
- amitvjtimub 15y agoNo strategy here. I though facebook is pretty much ubiquitous. May be I can provide a way to login through twitter as well. I am just asking for basic level of access for FBConnect.
- Zak 15y agoMay be I can provide a way to login through twitter as well No, that doesn't solve the problem at all. I really doubt it's any harder to use OpenID than it is to use twitter if you're really hung up on not storing usernames and passwords yourself (which really isn't that hard!).
