You can't always avoid it.
I had an incident only a week ago where I had to sign up to Snyk and the only way to do so was to use a third party sign in -- no option to create a new account using email.
The end results was me signing in using a Google account tied to the client, resulting in an immediate account disabled message from Google. It took a week to get the account re-opened, but left a bad taste in my mouth. If a billion dollar company can't be bothered to create their own sign in, what can we do?
I was so pissed off at the time that I wanted to open a support ticket with Snyk and vent, but of course, couldn't find any way to do that on their website.
- jraph 4y agoMaybe a way to handle this kind of situation would be to create a dedicated Google account? (I haven't encountered the situation myself, didn't try it)
- glogla 4y agoGoogle is known to link accounts by ip address, name similarity, phone numbers, emails, etc. There are for example stories of companies with their Google Cloud disabled because former employee using their personal account pushed app Google didn't like to Play Store.

- Tepix 4y agoThe best way to fix the problem is not to sign up to such companies and complain instead. If you can't find a feedback form, perhaps they are not interested in feedback? In that case there's always twitter.
- stainablesteel 4y agojust heard of snyk and googled > Snyk is a Boston-based cybersecurity company specializing in cloud computing... how is it secure [or wise] to require you to share an external login? that's infuriating
