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.

A couple of things come into my mind. Note that this isn’t exhaustive.

  • Google will obviously know you signed up for that service. Additionally, they will know when you log into your account.
  • Google may provide personal information that are listed in the signup screen, such as your name, birthday, etc. You will be notified of what will be provided (highly doubt Google would blantly lie about this part), and it’s up to you to decide whether you want to provide them or not. The site itself may ask for more than necessary.
