Creating a new account with every app you download or website you visit can be time-consuming. You have to input personal information, share your email address, and create yet another password to remember. Many websites and services allow users to log in with third-party accounts like Facebook or Google, and now, after months of testing, Twitter has officially added new registration and login options through Google and Apple accounts.

Users can now use Google and Apple ID accounts to register and log in to Twitter
Among the two new options, registering and logging in to Twitter with Apple ID is particularly appealing. Apple introduced the Sign in with Apple feature at the WWDC 2019 conference as an alternative to login services from Facebook and Google. The company claims that Sign in with Apple allows you to hide your email by creating dummy addresses, then forwarding any emails from apps and services to your actual email address.

Furthermore, Apple pledges not to track user activities when they log in and use various apps and websites. In contrast, registering with Google and Facebook accounts shares your name, email address, and other data with developers and providers. At the very least, the Sign in with Apple feature ensures fewer parties have access to your contact information.
However, in any case, Twitter's addition of support for both Google and Apple ID will make registering and logging into new users' Twitter accounts a bit easier. Additionally, Mytour notes that Twitter also provides its own login service that you can use to access certain websites.
