It’s pretty helpful for online shopping to be able to use Apple Pay. On your phone, you just click the button, use FaceID, and confirm shipping address. It can be done in 2 seconds compared to regular checkouts which step you through 4 or 5 screens.
Sign in with GitHub has also been nice for me on gitter. I don’t need a separate gitter account for any reason, and sharing my GitHub account on gitter is reasonable.
Well, no, it doesn't save a password. People use the same password across all their independent accounts.
Sign in with [Company] doesn't improve that, obviously, but there is the idea out there that [Company] might be doing a better job not leaking your password than the couple dozen sites that know it under the other system.
In other words, Sign in with [Company] is a way for a website to protect itself (from touching your password) at your expense. It's not there for you.
