Security and Privacy Concerns

Many other information security experts also recommend avoiding consumer SSO at all costs.

"Personally, I recommend people don't use social media single sign-on services. They represent a security and privacy concern for a number of reasons," Alan Woodward, a visiting professor of computer science at the University of Surrey, tells me.

For starters, "they are a single point of failure outside of one's control," he says. "I'd much rather use a password manager that I control, although obviously they are not invulnerable."

I use brain.exe for my own (passwords). Definitely not advised for other people if remembering things isn't a forte for you. PW Manager's for other people would be a good idea. However for myself, I do not need to use one.
