Ask HN: FB Login vs BrowserID vs OpenID vs Normal signup/signin?
I've developed a web app(not launched yet) to discover, organize and share music videos. Most of it can be accessed without signing in. Anyone can search/view music videos and playlists. Login is required only to create/manage own playlists.
As of now, FB-Login is the only supported login method. I can also use FB Graph API along with it to let users share music videos and playlists on Facebook. Ideally I would like it to be deeply integrated with facebook.
Which one of these I should choose -
1) FB Login
2) Twitter Login
3) Google Login
4) BrowserID
5) OpenID
6) Normal email registration/login
7) A combination of some or all of above.
Is it ok to launch with only FB Login and then add more login options if required?

- lokid 15y agoPersonally if there is 6) I avoid it. Instead just create an account from their FB/Twitter/whatever.
- brandoncordell 15y agoIf you launch with just a FB Connect login, you're ignoring potential users. I personally don't have a facebook, never will. If you launched with only a FB login, I would hit the back button and never return to your site. I would have no idea when and if you added a regular registration, nor would I care at that point.
