Login options - looking for feedback

I'm building out a login system for a mental health / wellness service, and would love to get feedback on what account login options to provide.

The product has fairly sensitive information (eg journaling of emotions or thoughts related to health / wellness), so I'm not sure if users would be looking for more anonymous options beyond email/password and Google/Facebook SSO. Would love to hear of any ideas that folks have.

Also fwiw I'm not in the business of sharing data as that'd be a major breach of trust. Thanks in advance!

    One important thing when targeting people with poor mental health is to make things as straightforward as possible. Just assume these people do not have (the mental space to) access their passwords. As such small gestures as email sign-on after several failed password attempts is a great way to help your users get access without too much hassle.

      That's a good thought – will definitely consider adding that (and instrumenting things like failed logins to identify if it's a problem). Thanks!

      Thanks, that's helpful. Fwiw I ended up using Firebase which provides options all across the spectrum – it was quite easy to set up and I'm satisfied with it overall. Thanks for the thoughts!

      I'm not sure how you could share this advice to more people, I've been considering adding it to https://soundportals.live and this convinced me.

          Heh, agreed. Most of my experience is in Enterprise tech so I've been trying to figure out what will really move the needle. Thx for the tips both.
