They still tie you to Google?


Microsoft, Github, and Apple login are the other options if you don't want to use Google.


One of the things keeping me from adopting Tailscale is that I need to sign up with one service, but I can't add multiple services as login options in case one of those SSO providers lock me out, like what happened to Dr Paris Buttfield-Addison with Apple.


Add a second user to your network?

What am I missing?

I checked, and Tailscale only allows a single Owner [1], so it would still be pretty disastrous if the Owner account was suspended by the single sign-on organisation.

Got it.

So almost like SSO being the paywall for some enterprise apps.


Great, yet another opportunity for Big Tech to track people. I’ll stick to my Wireguard setup, I have a fixed IP and would rather have full control of what is happening by setting up the keys myself than trust a third party.


So zero options that will not tie their service to some other service still.

So much for resilience.


You can self host with Headscale.


You can also use passkeys so you aren't tied to a centralized SSO provider.


... after i sign up for the service with a google/microsoft/whatever account, i suppose.
