But by using something like them or another identity provider, it is generally more secure. Consider when services that get hacked and a lot of email addresses and passwords are stolen. That can't happen with an identity provider because the password is never supplied to the service. Now if you are really religious about never reusing passwords you are better off, but an IDP does that for you. | |
