Clojurians Log v2

Having to log in with Google would be mildly inconvenient for me as I rarely use a Google account :^)

I think I use the google method.... but not 100% certain.

I've been migrating away from Google this month for privacy reasons, so loosing an alternative would be inconvenient. Perhaps Auth0 has support for passkeys as a future-oriented login method, might be less friction for new users?

@b.brodie would github work

also are your companies moving away from google workspace (docs etc) as well? one of my assumptions is that virtually all commercial users, of all sizes, has google login (or microsoft for enterprise)

i will look into passkeys

Agreed that Microsoft login is preferred for enterprise. Have to keep at least one Google Workspace around, for testing purposes. UX for passkeys has really improved the last few weeks, I'm hopeful it will go mainstream in 2026.

I have no strong opinion. However, I would generally like an alternative. I don't like the risk of XYZ big company kicking me off for some reason and then I lose access to my accounts. I've recently converted several SSO accounts to passkey or username + pw. I'm probably not concerned about this for Electric, since I can just ping yall in that remote eventuality.

I prefer having the options. Generally use a poorly defined heuristic for when I choose to use another service provider or password for sign in. I have tended towards dev things I sign in using the GitHub sign in because if I don't have access to GitHub I won't be doing much dev work

Is it possible to make the user/password less obvious? (click an extra link) This way you can see the ongoing trend. If people still use it - it's probably intentional. (personally I'd use google)

I did this intentionally. I prefer keeping my accounts separate rather than all linked to Google but it wouldn't bother me to switch methods

What google button 🙂?

I don't like linking accounts because who knows what happens down the road.

Service dependencies 😛

I can control whether I have access to my email address/username (mostly).

plz keep custom email & password. I like to keep sovereign domain, and I don't want to give Google money.

@dustingetz when you say "remove username-password option" does that mean removing non-Google email? I assume not, but checking.

I prefer custom email & password for everything. Don't want to tie AuthN / identity to any 3rd party service like Github where possible. I only use GitHub to sign in where repos are relevant.
