You can offer to let users log in with Facebook Connect and Google Accounts, etc. If I'm going to try out a new service, I'd rather use one of my existing log-ins than trust a brand new start-up to store my information securely. It's not their core competency.



Can you not just use a password manager and generate unique credentials for the new service, and give them a unique e-mail address as well if you're worried about spam?

Or are you worried about whatever data you put on the service after you've logged in?


Sure, I could do that. Or I could just log in with Facebook, Google, or OpenId if they're available. I'd rather have more choice in the matter.

Signing up with a third-party log-in doesn't really do much to protect the data you enter into a site after you've logged in.
