I totally agree with you.

From a developer side: Google, Facebook, etc have well developed and much safer password and login authentication and the liability technically falls on them for any screw ups. Although I have a very secure hashing system for my online game login I still plan to make logging in with your Google and, maybe, Facebook account. It also adds convenience.

I’m imagining the dev found some tool to do sms verification that Facebook makes simple (or maybe that’s all they know how to use considering you didn’t mention any google login...).
