The notion of "I don't have FB, therefore nobody should force FB
auth"
Oauth should be an extra option not the only option!!!
s/should force/should encourage/
Most people do use Social Networks but there's a small minority that
doesn't use or use them in a different way context, for example I use
Google+ only with my work email, could be unfortunate to register at
the bank with it because one day I may change job... I also have a
joint Facebook account, my wife and I share the same account and I'm
sure that other people found other original way to use social in an
unconventional way. Also don't forget that there are Tumblr, Pinterest
... and in other countries other social networks, Sina Weibo etc.
Encourage, not force. But, in fact, small sites like StackExchange
strongly encourage not creating local accounts: http://bit.ly/1uRbFj0
Oauth is a safe solution that makes our life one click away to be
easier, but the authentication through password will stick around
still for a little bit therefore restriction and security will have to
stay high as well so expect website that ask a password that contains
absurd klingon characters in it.
No argument there.
