Ask HN: What do you prefer when signing up for a new service?

Most definitely prefer email. Every great once in a while I'll switch to a facebook login - generally a combination of ease of use and a moderate-to-heavy use of the service.

In fact, I'll usually pass if I am not offered the email option along with the others.

Email

I pretty much won't do it on Facebook, especially if the permissions are looking for anything besides my basic info.

I use a throwaway email address if the service is potentially sketchy in any way.

Depends on the service.

Sometimes when I just want to try it out or am curious, if they have email, then I use a dummy email account Ive set up for this purpose.

Other times, Twitter
