This is world wide surveillance gone mad.
I try to avoid using creepy websites like this.

#12I see one like this on other sites - eg Instagram. Hate it.
Don't assume I want to give you my identity.
But! Make it super easy for me to act when I decide.
These force-auth types are over-reaching and intrusive. They cause pain to the power-user and cause incidental harm to the standard-user (and maybe more)

#13Given that this is a website for medical use, I'm surprised they are allowing account creation with google oauth. I'm 95% sure it's not HIPAA compliant.
The website/company seems to be located in Bengaluru, India so I doubt HIPAA applies to them.

#15I find it to be intrusive and disturbing. Medium.com does this and I've always hated it. Mediums usage of it actually caused me to switch, on my work computer, from always being logged into Google, to never being logged into my Google account. Now if I have to use one of my companies apps that requires a Google login, I do it incognito. At home, I never browse while logged in, so I didn't ever notice it that much. Us…
If you use Firefox, you might want to look into multi-account containers or first party isolation. Basically, you can log into Gmail in one tab without being logged into Google in all tabs.

Your approach is very reasonable, but the option I really like is just never visiting Medium period.

God, Medium has the worst login experience of any site I use. What makes them think they are too clever to be usable with a password manager like the rest of the damn internet? I usually just reopen the article in an incognito tab instead of going through their stupid “send me an email!” bullshit login.

#18hhm, how did they do that? I thought the google oauth flow required that it redirect to a google page (and show the info/permission the oauth flow is asking for). Unless there's a security leak somewhere in cookies, which exposed your email address to this site (which doesn't belong to google i presume).
Probably iframes

#20The first time this happened to me, I instinctively clicked to login thinking Chrome was trying to log me into Gmail or my Google Account. I didn’t realize I was giving info to some random site, I was just trying to swat away a popup.
