This is true, but nobody ever does. Seems like most of the "Show HN" links we see here require Twitter and/or Facebook for login and offer nothing else.
An OAuth provider that's JUST an OAuth provider is pretty welcome to me.
- pedalpete 14y agoI think most sites rely on Facebook/Twitter logins, not because it is easier than adding in their own system, but because users don't want to have ANOTHER login in, and it allows for easy shareabliity.
- nostromo 14y agoThe vast majority (over 70%) of user accounts at my previous company were email and pass, even though Facebook was offered for each new account.
- smhinsey 14y agoClickPass is effectively this, although they were OpenID. I don't think it worked out too well for them but it was several years ago, so they may've been too far ahead of the curve. HN used to use them as a sign in provider.
