Then why not use OAuth?
- siegers 3y agoWasn't necessary since we weren't intending to share information with another service and felt that the 3rd party requirement could be limiting.
- johnnyfived 3y agoThis answer doesn't make sense to me. If anything oauth far better proves you won't be sharing information with other services (you're not collecting logins and accounts). It's more limiting to ask users to sign up to the app.
- siegers 3y agoMeaning that we'd be limiting users that don't use the provider(s) that we'd support. At that time, we felt that username/password was the lowest friction at the time. We're happy to re-eval if needed though!
- beretguy 3y agoPlease leave username-password authentication. I never use oauth and absolutely hate it.
- nunodonato 3y agoexactly, I also hate websites that rely on oauth alone.
- bjourne 3y agoThen use both regular sign-up and OAuth? People that just want to try the service don't have patience for email verification.
