I'm a cofounder at CollegeAI.com. Our users can sign up via Facebook, Google or Email. Here are our stats: Google: 58% Email: 23% Facebook: 19% Most of our users are around 18yo.
Do you have stats on how many sign up with Gmail (or Google mail account) - but as "email"?
All my side projects and any projects I control use exclusively social login. Here's why. 1. Its way easier on me. I don't have to worry about password resets or users hacking an account in the site. OAuth and be done. 2. I don't have to deal with any outgoing or incoming emails and complaints dealing with login. 3. I don't have to worry about scammers, since google/facebook pretty much require phone, a non fake emai…
For my little side project I’m using email only. Tangentially related, I quite like Medium’s workflow where you don’t need to enter passwords anymore. You just enter your address, they send a login email, you click the link in your email, and it redirects you to Medium, logged in.
You don't need to enter passwords because you are stuck in a password reset groundhog day scenario. You want to login to Medium yet you need to access your emails first, it makes very little sense actually.
It's actually one of the safest ways to offer email authentication.

I am unlikely to use your site if it requires me to use a Google or Facebook login. Those companies already have too much power to fuck my life up, I have no interest in giving them any more.

That's absolutely crazy, I've always thought it didn't make any sense. Browsers have autofill, and even if you don't want to use it it takes a lot less time to type your password than t…

Would a different social login provider be more acceptable? Github for instance? Something or someone that isn't as interested in using your data

Good point, I mean user name and password, with an initial verification email. If you use the email option, you can't get into the app without first clicking a verification link in an email. That caused a few headaches after launch when my transactional mail service didn't have a great delivery rate. Still the right thing to do from a security perspective. I do have a big "preview" option on the login page for anyone…
What are you using to get a good delivery on transactional main?

>>[if they won’t use social login do they really like you enough? I like to think of my users as apostles] Sounds a bit scary is this some kind of cult as a service offering? It’s well known that a significant percentage of people won’t sign up with a social login. What is it about those lost users that appears to assign them less of a value in your business model? Quality of customer is definitely a consideration in…
How is it "well known that a significant percentage of people won't sign up with a social login" ?
32% username password 57% google rest facebook/twitter out of 7291 users, via auth0 (for my project brandmark.io)
