Analysis of signup methods: Why you shouldn't ignore Google Federated Login
- bdfh42 14y agoIts actually OpenID and users can use more accounts than just a Google one. Everyone should support OpenID and OAuth with a site specific sign up as a reluctant fall-back.
- austinhallock 14y agoThis is true. I do think there is value in taking a less is more approach however. Maybe I'm weird, but http://grab.by/dXiq http://grab.by/dXiq just seems overwhelming to me and is a turn-off. Also, as far as I know, OpenID 2.0 doesn't pass the username/name/picture (correct me if I'm wrong), so there is some extra work involved in getting that info from each individual provider (assuming they even provide it like Google does)
- chrischen 14y agoIt depends on the site and demographics. For example, on Like.fm, approx 30% use email+password and the rest use Facebook+email+password.
- austinhallock 14y agoInteresting, thanks for the info! Big difference between http://grab.by/dXi6 http://grab.by/dXi6 and http://grab.by/dXia http://grab.by/dXia in terms of how much focus is put on Facebook, but that plays a bigger role than I'd imagine (24% -> 70%). Of course, the audiences are a bit different as well
