What's the reasoning for the objection? If it asked for email and password, would that be OK or also no go? Just curious.

Just curious.
- andrewfromx 4y agonot an email and password but a username and password is fine. Just like hackernews!
- NerdiOrg 4y agoWhy not? It's oauth with set permissions... very common nowadays and secure.
- andrewfromx 4y agoeh, i don't mind typing in username "blahblah123" and password "testing123" but clicking something that might be a phishing fake google login screen? With hackernews style no email required you can make an account without giving away anything. Even foo@gmail.com makes me feel bad that someone will try and email whatever fake email I put in and sometimes I might just type a real email by random chance.
- kevviiinn 4y agoThere are plenty of people who have ethical objections to using any google product like myself. I don't have any google accounts and I definitely won't make one to try out someone's product
- CharlieDigital 4y agoCurious what mail provider you use in that case and -- aside from username/password -- there are other SSO/OAuth providers that you would use.
- kevviiinn 4y agoI self host my email, there are no other SSO providers I would use
- XCSme 4y agoPersonally, I don't like all my internet accounts to be linked to Google. What if they ban my account because I upload a copyrighted video to YouTube? I lose access to everything else too.
