I know this opinion comes up every time Tailscale is mentioned, but requiring SSO _and_ only supporting companies like Google and Microsoft on the free tier means a lot of people can't use it without being exposed to a ton of risk in the form of automated moderation/deletion decisions. I want to be excited about this stuff, but it just won't fit into my risk profile until that changes.
Hell, I'd be happy to pay $5/mo or whatever if that meant I could roll my own SSO, or even just use a cheap-per-user, low-volume provider.
- cstejerean 4y agoI can see some risk with say Google as the surface area is much larger (maybe they don’t like some play store activity or some ads activity or YouTube activity, etc). But I use my GitHub account and I’m really not worried about automated moderation locking me out of my account.
- cynix 4y agoIf only they allowed switching from Google to GitHub...
- skybrian 4y agoThis is a workaround, but could you minimize that risk by signing up for both Microsoft and Google? It should help for any policy / moderation / "computer says no" decisions that are vendor-specific. (On the other hand, for security risks, it means that a security hole in either one would be a problem.)
- NoraCodes 4y agoThat is not how Tailscale SSO works.
