OzBargain Google Account Login on iOS App

Been using the OzB Android app with no issues.

Recently switched to an iPhone and cannot find the option to login to OzB iOS app using Google account.

Have tried the reset password option but that only gives me a one-time login link which opens in safari instead of the app.

Since my OzB account is tied to my Google account, how can I login using the OzB iOS app?

  • Unfortunately with iOS, we can't provide Google sign-in or Facebook sign-in without also provide sign-in with Apple ID (which we don't support).

    That means we have to remove other sign-in options from the iOS app.

      Ahh typical Apple…

      Thanks for the reply.

    • @scotty What issues are there with the sign-in with Apple ID? Is it because the user may hide their email?

      • We do need to grab user's email as unique identifier. Sign in with Apple ID is simply something we aren't supporting yet.

        • Doesn't that unique identifier just forward emails to the actual email address? Is the concern that banned users will be able to create an account and the system won't know their email has been banned because it just sees the unique identifier?

  • Google is advertising company, stop feeding it your shopping data, make normal account with some rarely used email.

    • I started using Apple Maps just because I don't want Google to know where I'm going. They probably know anyway through Google Adview cookies on every website, but I like making their tracking of me as hard as possible.

      • through Google Adview cookies on every website

        Through your Google account cookie if you are logged in in other tab in your browser. Just be logged off from Google all the times and use private browsing tabs. That alone kills 90% of data leaks.

        Add ad-blocker and use iCloud Private Relay and youre set. This is enough.
