Still can't wrap my head around that TS does not allow to signup with your custom email/password combination but forces you to use bigtech (GitHub, Apple, Meta etc.) to login. Running your custom OIDC provider as a small, private person does not make any sense either.

I think that's quite smart, and OIDC is an open standard at least.

Securing usernames/passwords and handling second factors etc; is already done so well and it's hard to do.

Having a clear 'this is where we can be secure' stances is what makes me want to trust them more.

It's an open standard, but would they allow me to use my OIDC?

Yes, they allow that.
