not an email and password but a username and password is fine. Just like hackernews!

Why not? It's oauth with set permissions... very common nowadays and secure.

eh, i don't mind typing in username "blahblah123" and password "testing123" but clicking something that might be a phishing fake google login screen? With hackernews style no email required you can make an account without giving away anything. Even foo@gmail.com makes me feel bad that someone will try and email whatever fake email I put in and sometimes I might just type a real email by random chance.

ya not logging in with google m8

What's the reasoning for the objection? If it asked for email and password, would that be OK or also no go? Just curious.

There are plenty of people who have ethical objections to using any google product like myself. I don't have any google accounts and I definitely won't make one to try out someone's product

Personally, I don't like all my internet accounts to be linked to Google. What if they ban my account because I upload a copyrighted video to YouTube? I lose access to everything else too.

Curious what mail provider you use in that case and -- aside from username/password -- there are other SSO/OAuth providers that you would use.
