    Come on, you’ve got a password manager that saves passwords and usernames. It couldn’t be more convenient to login.

    Why would you give the responsibility to google for your logins?

    Why would you lock yourself into the vendor google by using their login system for every other service? You can’t migrate anywhere easily.

    I’m just not enabling such a method. It’s not implemented. People who don’t think about it and hence don’t care usually still use the service eveb if they cannot use “login with google”

      I have a password manager.

      My parents do not.

      They do have a Gmail account and know how to use Netflix, so they know how to use Plex.

      I mean, that’s not the dealbreaker, there are plenty of bigger issues with Jellyfin than not having a Google authentication integration. They definitely can log in with a password and do for other self-hosted services, but the fact is that Plex having the option does remove one annoyance from the process.
