Re: SSO is flawed

Absolutely.

I had a personal email through my internet provider. I used that as a sign on for a couple of forums. When my provider was bought out they changed the email addresses of subscribers and then turned off the old accounts within a short period of time. Well that's all well and fine until I tried to sign on to said forums and could not because my email address was not valid.

Oof. Luckily I was able to contact administrators and get access again. That could have gone sideways quickly and would have been my fault for not keeping a proper list of logins and updating them right away.
