    That's why you connect both Twitter and GitHub.
    If you lose one, you have the other.

    I've already passed on the web service, before discovering that connecting two OAuth services to the same account was even an option..

    I'll sign up directly, or not at all..

    Maybe I do, maybe I don't. It doesn't matter to you if I do or not, if I have to use one of them to sign into x service, I skip x service. I avoid OAuth in general.. Loose access to the main account you are locked out of everything.. My main reason though is that I don't want "random" service to know what my Twitter or GitHub account might be, nevermind what permissions they may ask for of my OAuth service.

    Same reason that I recommend people NOT use/create a "Microsoft Account" to access Windows on their new computer.. Too many times I've had to help people locked out of their PC because their M$ account was taken over, the password changed, meaning no more computer access.
