Completely agree with the reason why a user would use a gmail account without OAuth, I'm just surprised that 11% of users actually did it since it requires significantly more work to do so.
I also completely agree with the benefit from social logics depends on the nature of your business. For a B2B play, having users sign up through Google OAuth makes sense, especially for organizations that are using Google Apps to manage e-mail and identity already. Presumably this will also allow an IT administrator to manage the account (though I haven't dived deep enough to ascertain that)
Basically, choose your third-party logins properly to maximize growth through partner channels. If your app isn't inherently social, there still are great integrations out there that make sense.
- kijin 13y ago> it requires significantly more work to do so Google OAuth: 1. Click on the red button 2. Log in to Google if you're not already logged in 3. Authorize your website 4. Done Just creating an account: 1. Click on the gray button 2. Let your browser fill in your name and email 3. Let LastPass generate a random password 4. Done It's not a particularly complicated workflow if you're used to it. This is a challenge for anyone who is trying to become a universal identity provider: they need to make it significantly easier than the decades-old alternative.
