Comment on: The session you cannot take with you

I’ve actually started ignoring services where that’s the only login possibility.Sorry even if your platform is the greatest thing ever, but I’ll find a different tool. I’ve read one too many stories about Google (or Apple!) closing the entire account over some bullshit unnecessary reason like “fraudulent” gift card issues or whatever. I’m certain the affected people would’ve preferred to just pay back the amount in question instead of losing their entire Google Drive, or their 20 years of iCloud Photos or whatever.
