What's your most preferred login method?

57
•
We would love to have your opinion about sign-in / sign-up pages. Findz currently supports login via Apple, Google or Email. However, we have been hearing our users say they would rather just use their phone number for the login and not have to tie the account up with their device or social login. What do you think?

I've never thought of a phone number 🤔 Thinking I would be more apprehensive about using it unless for e-commerce purchase. Google has always been my preferred, and don't have to remember another password. :)
Pritam Nanda
@kim_stanfield Thanks for that detailed explanation. Just a follow-up question. How would you prefer to login on a social app(an app where you can invite your contacts to hang out or discuss on cool things that you find together)?

This is interesting to me! I have never seen a phone number login and I don't think I would use it, because it seems more personal than an email. How does it not tie you to your device? Phone number is a common identifier.
Pritam Nanda
@dawn_veltri1 A phone number login is one where you get an OTP on your phone to authenticate and login to your account. But that is not a very common process. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Dawn Veltri
@pritam_nanda92 Oh, I guess I have done this! I was confused. Not my favorite sign-in process but does seem more secure.

Google, but honestly, no login whenever possible :P
Pritam Nanda
@simeonatswayde I agree that there shouldn't be a login just for the sake of it.
Simeon Ivanov
@pritam_nanda92 Lately using any web based platform even with google has become some MFA nightmare which leads me to think and probably a product like this would gather a lot of traction would be just to rethink the authentication process in general, probably have a fourth option in your poll. :)

Email ID seems less invading I find on a personal perspective
Enola VEDOVOTTO
The most of the time I used Google to save time. Otherwise, I use my google account.
Pritam Nanda
@enola_vedovotto Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🙂

I would more like and prefer Email or Google ID. Gmail is quite quick. I don't think I would use it, because it seems more personal than an email. Phone number is a common identifier.

@ramon_devils Thank you for helping us in our survey. 🙂

For me, it depends a lot on the context. Am I signing up for a tool that I'm seriously considering? Then definitely via Google. If I just want to explore something, then via email or something else.. :)
Pritam Nanda
@sehebel Thanks for being honest here. We are all skeptical before sharing any personal details on a new website/app

We are launching Paperless today and noticed most people signed up through Google! Would love to get your feedback as well 🚀

prefer email or gmail and possibly 2FA via email
Pritam Nanda
@chriscarex 2FA is definitely more secure. Thanks for sharing your perspective 🙂

Login via google/apple accounts is way more convenient than by any other means.

Google, Google and Google everyday 🤩

Login with Google is the first thing I use.

I think users prefer clicks rather than entering information manually. So If the user has a google account logged in and he is creating an account to ABC site so, he prefers to use the same account. Rather than phone number or email because there two methods will ask you to verify first. So I will go with Google/Apple Accounts🚀
