Email, because I don't feel Facebook/Google/Twitter gives me the ownership of my virtual identity.
- AbhishekBiswal 13y agoIsn't it tiring? When you can click and login, you choose to fill out 3-4 fields. About the ownership of your data,what if the app asks you for the permission of fetching only basic information nothing else?
- humancontact 13y agoYes, it is kind of tiring. Even if the app asks only to fetch basic information, I think that I shouldn't go through them (Facebook, Google, Twitter) to assert my identity, since I don't pay any of these companies for this service, I can't trust them to keep my best interests in mind. I feel that there should be a way for me to be my own identity provider, and email has been the closest I've got to it.
- AbhishekBiswal 13y agoI agree. But what if you found something interesting on the web, and you can only sign up using Facebook/Google/any other service? No email signup. Then?
- humancontact 13y agoThen I'll signup with Google because its the one I most likely have a valid cookie, but I probably won't rely too much on this service.
- AbhishekBiswal 13y agoAh, okay! Thanks.
