Hi,
Unless am not aware of something other than what has been written I do not see how altering this login method adds anything different than what we already have. I was always under the impression that if you did not remember your password you would be sent a pasword reset, sent sent to your email adddress. Similarly, when creating an account one would normally give an email address to confirm details. Either way having an email address is one layer, maybe to help recover accounts one may wish to add an answer to a question of your choice, that only you would know. That too may help.
Yet, to then say that in order to login one must connect via a social connection or via email is no longer one of choice but of demand.
Who is demanding the change, I don't think the users are demanding the change. The access of control can still be had as it currently is.
I think it's really important to have clarity to avoid confusion. I do believe that were you to suggest to account holders either log in as is via the new to come login method or else login via the password method then it may be more of giving the users a free will to determine how they would prefer to login in. The alternative to the user would otherwise suggest that they are not being given the free will to choose how to login, which to me is wrong. I came across just such a set up when login in to Zoopla the property website, here's the link, https://www.zoopla.co.uk/signin/?return_url=%2F which gives the user a choice.
Thank you for reading this far.
Kind regards,
