So, having large corporations (google, facebook, etc) know everything you're doing all the time at every site and in every app is better than...having to keep track of various passwords? I don't get it. I find 3rd party authentication without the slightest appeal. Maybe it's a teensy bit easier.

Everything? Hardly. Certainly everything important lives in the password vault. But playing games? Why do I care if Facebook or Google knows I play a particular game? On Android Google is going to know what games I have anyway. "MAYBE" it's easier? On a PHONE?! Let's see, I can click "Google" to log in, and I'm done, or I can...open my key vault, enter my 16-character-random-password into my key manager using a touch keyboard, and then do the copy/paste of the user name and the password. What? I don't have a password for this site yet? Then I have to get my computer and generate the password there, because I don't trust "the cloud" with my critical password vault, encrypted or not. It's so much easier to use OAUTH it's not even a close comparison.
