What's your most preferred login method?

by
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?

Google/Twitter aka social accounts win by a huge margin. Which is why I'm building "Subscribe w/ Twitter" buttons for newsletter landing pages. If you run a newsletter, check it out: socialscri.be/

@kunalmishra Thanks for the detailed explanation. I would love to check out "Subscribe w/ Twitter"

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.
Simeon Ivanov
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
Pritam Nanda
@jessie_m Thanks for sharing your views. 🙂

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
Jacob Engels
We are launching Paperless today and noticed most people signed up through Google! Would love to get your feedback as well 🚀
Pritam Nanda
@jacob_engels Thanks for sharing about Paperless.io. Good luck on your launch. I have supported it with an upvote. We are launching Findz soon. You can take a preview here: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/findz

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.
Pritam Nanda
@saqib301 I agree with you on this

It would be cool to make all the options!

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)?
Kat Robinson
One-click Gmail all the way
Pritam Nanda
@kat_robinson Thanks for sharing your preference. 🙂
