Google is dictating how signing into their account system on their properties works, not login forms for _every single site_.


Google's policies get exported.

For a long time it was OK to drop email that came from a server without rDNS. Then gmail started allowing such emails, and then legit sites started sending email from servers without rDNS.

In this case the export mechanism is Captcha v3.

You're right. My comment is out of place in this particular instance. But there are plenty of other examples where Google does have too much power and influence.


Google is quickly becoming the login form for every website. And even if the website has its own login it will always have recaptca


I wouldn't blame Google for this phenomenon, though. They provided a solution, others were quick to jump to and use said solution. Might be better to complain to the sites following the herd then?
