Okay, neat I suppose? I am having trouble drawing the mental venn diagram where there is an overlap with people that don't want to verify their mail but do want to link a social media account and in the process still provide their email. Edit: Reading it again, this seems more aimed at making it easier for people to make an account in general and therefore increase engagement numbers. More on reddit.com

Logging in with a Google, Facebook or similar account is a terrible idea. It's terrible privacy wise: Google will know all your other accounts, all the services you use. It's terrible security wise: The access to all your accounts is reduced to a single factor: your Google account. This means Google has full control over all your accounts as well as everyone who gains access to your Google account. A data breach at Google or your Google account getting compromised would not only affect your Google account but would give the attacker access to all your accounts. It's terrible in terms of reliability and control: Google can suspend your account at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever. And they often do, many people got their account suspended without any wrongdoing. You are subject to Google's terms, that you almost certainly never read and now your other accounts that are in no other way affiliated with Google are subject to the same terms. But even if you comply with these terms you can still get suspended. Suspensions in error happen all the time and Google is big enough not to care. You are just a single user. They won't treat you fairly. They won't offer good support by skilled staff that actually takes time to investigate to you. To them that would just be a waste of resources. They have enough other users. Google like most services does most of their moderation automatically with algorithms rather than humans. Those always also have an error rate. When you get falsely flagged by such an algorithm there isn't much you can do about it. There is no good support that you can reach out to. That would be far too expensive for a too small amount of users to Google. You just aren't worth enough to them to be treated fairly and to receive "customer" support. Also your accounts will be tied to your Google account. If you ever want to stop using that account or if you want to move away from Google, you'll have a problem. Google is not a company you want to be dependent on. Stay in control of your accounts and use an open source password manager like Bitwarden to store and autofill your credentials.

I believe you already have a username Use that for log in and generate a password which wouldn't be existing as of now from the forgot password page or the settings section of your account. That should fix it. More on reddit.com
