Sign in with Apple Will Be Required for Apps That Offer Third-Party Sign-In
- dfabulich 7y agoPutting two and two together, that means that apps offering Facebook/Google login will have to accept Apple's anonymized forwarded email addresses, like fc452bd5ea@privaterelay.appleid.com.
- olliej 7y agoIt says third party so the google and fb apps theoretically wouldn’t be effected? I’m still unclear how the anonymized email address is triggered - is it specific to apple sign-in, or is it going to be a (yay) system level feature (eg available in safari for generic site logins)
- untog 7y agoI'm very conflicted about this. I feel like it gets to the core of what makes Apple so difficult, actually: it's good. It's a user-positive move that puts privacy back into users hands in an easy to use way. But it's also an operating system manufacturer exercising an extraordinary amount of control over their platform. It makes me very uncomfortable.
- sneak 7y agoI feel the same way, but ultimately, nobody is forcing me to use their platform. It’s sort of like a restaurant that plays a very particular kind of music very loudly at all times; if I want the food, I better get down with the music, or I can always eat somewhere else. The problem, I think, is that I am forced to choose Apple’s App Store when I buy Apple hardware. It should be the default, sure, but I should be able to install other app stores with other policies.
