Son from SimpleLogin here. I hope you are doing well and are staying at home in this difficult time. By the way I'm
writing this newsletter from my couch with my cats proofreading the text :).
Please find below some of our latest news.

1) Mobile apps
Now you can quickly create aliases on-the-go with SimpleLogin Android and iOS app,
thanks to our mobile guy Thanh-Nhon!
Download the Android app on
Play Store
and the iOS app on
App Store
.
With the release of the mobile apps, SimpleLogin now covers most major platforms:
- Desktop with SimpleLogin web app or Chrome, Firefox and Safari extension
- Mobile with Android and iOS app
The code is of course open-source and available on our
Github

2) Dark mode
You have asked for it and now the dark mode is finally available, kudos to Dung - our full-stack guy.
You can finally enjoy using SimpleLogin in the dark.

3) Alias name, new UI, security page, new policy privacy
You might have noticed that the web UI is now more compact: the web app has undergone a remake
to make it more responsive for usual actions like enabling/disabling an alias, updating alias note, etc.
You can set a name for your alias too: this name is used when you send emails or reply from your alias.
We have also created a new
security page
that goes into the technical
details of SimpleLogin.
Our
privacy page
is also rewritten from scratch: nothing changes about
your data protection
but the page is more clear and detailed now.

4) Facebook, Google, Github login deprecation
We have decided to deprecate those social login options because of several reasons:
- Privacy: every time you sign in using one of these methods, the respective company knows and
we have no information on what they do with this data.
- Not fully open-standard compatible: these platforms enjoy their monopolies and
don't play well with open standards like OAuth2/OpenID: in fact, implementations on mobile of these social login
require their SDK that we refuse to add because of privacy concern.
- Uniform experiences for all users: to have these social login in our iOS app, we need to support "Sign in with
Apple" that isn't broadly available for Android users.
Again, another big tech enjoying its monopoly.
If you happen to use one of these social login options, please create a password for your account on the
Setting page
You can still sign in using these social login until 2020-05-31. After this date, they will be removed.
