Ask HN: What do you prefer when signing up for a new service?
I found that most people tend to use facebook more instead of email for signing up. (Not sure if they realize that it still gives out their email anyway).
I am curious what do you feel the most comfortable with when signing up for a new service:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- G+
- Email
- Other ( Please specify)
- prostoalex 12y agoG+
- vs2370 12y agoTwitter or FB
- quantisan 12y agoEmail
- elyrly 12y agoemail
- ASquare 12y agoDepends on the service. Sometimes when I just want to try it out or am curious, if they have email, then I use a dummy email account Ive set up for this purpose. Other times, Twitter
- darkstar999 12y agoEmail I pretty much won't do it on Facebook, especially if the permissions are looking for anything besides my basic info. I use a throwaway email address if the service is potentially sketchy in any way.
- Broken_Hippo 12y agoMost definitely prefer email. Every great once in a while I'll switch to a facebook login - generally a combination of ease of use and a moderate-to-heavy use of the service. In fact, I'll usually pass if I am not offered the email option along with the others.
