Get Your Social out of My Log In

Mar21

I’m really, really starting to hate seeing this when I download a new application:

My objections:

  • What if I stop using the service I choose to log in to your application?
  • You are totally going to spam my friends and followers on the service I choose—likely without asking me.
  • I use different strong passwords for as many applications as is feasible to limit the surface area of any personal security compromise. You’re not letting me control my own security.

What I think when I see this:

  • You were too lazy to write your own login and authentication system.

About Me

I'm a husband, father to five, and Automattician. I love games, life, nerdy things, and the Cardinals, and am a fake plastic rock star playing St. Louis at least once a week.

Give me your email address and I'll give you a shout every time I post something, automatically.
