I agree. I love OAuth idea and the single-sign on flow. I love having one source where I can go and see all of the sites that have my info, and I love being able to rescind my account from that central location.

However, I hate that Facebook/Twitter take it a step further with all of their social integration features to the point where many apps assume, by default, that you want to share share share everything you do all over your social network.

As I've found a number of apps/websites that do not allow you to continue without giving them permission to post on your wall, I've been forced to mark every single app/OAuth site on my Facebook as available to "only me". Post all you want, no one will ever see it.

Curating what gets posted under your name shouldn't be this much work. I shouldn't have to strive for a clean digital presence with content that adds something to my readers life.

I'd love an OAuth provider that HAS NO SOCIAL NETWORK!

And Google is out on this too, sorry, but Google Plus is obviously the only web property that Google cares about anymore and trusting them not to socialify everything is a fools game.

I'd rather use one with an exceptionally good security policy (including account recovery), realtime multi-modal notification, customizable settings (i.e. being able to ip/geo restrict, rate limit, etc.), etc. And maybe do groups, too.

Google Apps for Your Domain could be kind of like this, but isn't. Probably the closest, though.

Maybe someone like Dropbox/Box.Net/AeroFS?

This is basically exactly what I built https://www.persowna.net/ for. It's still in its infancy (as is Mozilla Persona), but that's where I want to take it.

Can I email you to talk about your needs a bit? It sounds like you have some good ideas.

[rdl]

sure

Amazon does have a social network though https://kindle.amazon.com/, actually two now with the aquisition of goodreads

I though persona by Mozilla was basically this.

[StavrosK]

It is. It's unfortunate that more people don't know about it, especially since it's ridiculously easy to implement, well-designed and would save us all a lot of hassle.

If you're running a Django app, please add Persona integration. It takes around five minutes, literally.

[criley]

I thought Persona was an _idea_. I personally haven't seen a single Persona login in the wild.

GitHub, BitBucket?

Both are actually good options if you have a service with developer demographic (even if its just in part). I'm using Google & GitHub right now, and will likely add Amazon since it's very little work to do so.
