Anyway to create an account if you do not have google email or github? Thanks

Solution:

Hi @ETC, Currently we only allow support for Google, GitHub and Microsoft Providers. We have considered OAuth signups for a better user authenticity and verification process to avoid spam/fake accounts created via emails directly.

Hey Gaurav. Thank you for your response. We prefer creating an account with emails and passwords only. That way we have complete control over our own accounts. The current trend of utilising another provider to authenticate yourself is actually breaching everyone's private data and also creating a central point for a security breach. We find it is a ridiculous approach that the industry is following. 2FA is a possible secure route but that should always be optional and not mandatory as some people are quite happy having very strong passwords to secure their accounts only. They tend to hate having to have to authenticate yet again with an email, text message, phone call or whatever it is. Hope that makes sense. At present, without the ability to create an account that is just our username (or email) with an accompanying password, we are not able to use your tool. And I am sure we are not the only ones as we read about a lot of people not utilising a service due the same issues or organisations forcing 2FA on their users. Github itself has had a load of people leave and utilise other tools because they have forced 2FA on everyone. Hopefully BuildShip will not make the same mistakes. Please do let us know if BuildShip will provide the facility for us to log in with our own email address and password in the future? It is a pretty simple feature to implement 🙂 Thank you Any update on this Guarav? Thanks

Hi @ETC, we have decided to keep the OAuth signup options only to avoid spam/fake accounts.
