Do I understand correctly that soon we won’t be able to log in using username & password, but have to use Apple/Google or “magic links”? [image] Email Sign-In Flow Tutorials In addition to signing in with your Apple and Google accounts, we also have new email …

[image] obolofoldworld: I’m very curious as to what will happen to users who aren’t even registered to the site with a Google or Apple account, like myself. You sign in using email.
