I do exactly opposite. I prefer to tie services with my Google/FB account so that I don't have to remember too many passwords.

And with recent security breaches, if I'm letting every other App store my information on their server (password etc.), isn't that less secure?

I am just curious why people in general(nothing personal) don't tie their accounts.

I use PwdHash ( https://www.pwdhash.com/ ) to obfuscate my password for me based on the site url so that I only need to remember one password and yet not fear when it gets leaked from one hacked server.

There is a browser extension and a mobile app as well to make it super easy to use. There is one site I use that defeats this by using several hosts for its login, one dedicated to login and another on the main site.
