How do people remember which social login they used for any given site? There are usually multiple and they overlap between sites and none work with every site.

I make it easy by Never using social login because I don't want the chance of being locked out and password managers are easy enough.

So they are always in my password manager, and that part of life is good.

People generally tend to use one of them, mostly Google.

However, I always sign-up with an e-mail directly if possible, and don't use OIDC login pathways. If I had to use or was lazy during registration, I change my password immediately, so I can use an e-mail/password/2FA path.
