Google being the only login option is getting some criticism. What would you like as authentication options?

- FB - Twitter - Apple - Would email+pw be necessary? I’m maybe biased, I generally prefer using and implementing third party authentication.

I'm surprised that with the number of complaints about Google auth, FB and Twitter are what come to mind as viable alternatives.

I would consider using Apple for something like this. But limiting it to third-party auth is pretty unfriendly to users.

Ok, we will add user+pw. I've done some research in the meantime:

- FB is not that easy, since you can't set the email address as a required field. We use that to send the final render. We could let it be filled in in the app though.

- Twitter will probably be added

- Apple can be investigated
