If I created a Udemy account with my Gmail, then what’s the difference between signing in with email and signing in with Google? Thanks in advance.

    It’s a protocol called OAuth that pretty much lets google or whatever “sign in with XYZ” company take over the login process then share a unique identifier+ all information requested by the app on that “allow 3rd party to access the following” page. It’s essentially letting Google manage the user/password authentication instead of udemy.
