Tailscale complaining about centralized actors controling the internet, yet not allowing to sign up for Tailscale with your email but strictly requiring to use a Microsoft/Meta/Google account. Cant make this up.
- SparkyMcUnicorn 2y agoYou can use just about any OIDC. Some of the self-hosted options presented during sign up include Keycloak, Ory, Gitea, Zitadel, Authelia, and more. There's also a workaround to create a passkey account by signing up with any SSO provider, inviting yourself as an external user, accepting that invite and sining in with a passkey, then leave the original SSO network. Then you're not tied to any external service at all.

People have enough identities already. More details here: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/ https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/ We know we keep getting feedback that people want a different way to authorize their accounts (especially for personal use), so we're looking at other options. We just really want to stay out of the username+password business; it's simply bad security practice.
