UNA vs FB vs Twitter

Ok, so i have to get many of you webmaster opinions. The standard way right now of FB and Twitter's joining process is actually quite simple, is UNA's joining process more secure? Yes as an owner like many of you i'm aware of the invitation only and UNA's option's. I have a user that asked me this question and wanted to get some more solid feedback. Twitter is pretty simple as well.

    • The join form in UNA is configurable of course. The only mandatory fields are account name, email and password. 

      Adding additional fields would best suit the profile creation stage. Depending on your site setup more fields may indeed give better perspective about the user and would allow admin to monitor users nor efficiently. 

      As for security, you could add phone numbers collection and enable 2FA, which does affect sign up rates somewhat but may be optional. 

      • of course, now here is another question Andrew, which platform is more secure?

        • It mainly depends on how you have secured your server and database. In my opinion, Facebook and Twitter did better than you and me :-)

          • But Baloo they have millions of duplicate accounts, spam accounts, scammers, etc...... plus fan pages receive fake likes no?

            • Ok, I see what you're talking about, so that's another story. This is one of my main problems that. More than that, it's my biggest problem. I do not see anything in Una working against it right now. He worries me a lot.
              I can bounce on what Andrew says with 2FA. There are two approaches, there are sites that are looking to push up the meters (of members) because among other things they work with advertising and everyone knows that advertising revenues increase with the number of members, no matter they they are crooks, and then the crooks also generate big traffic of mails, and "work" every hour, which gives an impression of a site that works well.
              I do not want that, because I think it can work in the short term, but in the long run it kills the site and all the others who try to work honestly.
              I am looking for fewer members, but of good quality. So I bounce on what Andrew says, it may be that 2FA affects the number of registrations at first, but it is also possible that the reputation of a serious site with real members and without scammers also increases the registrations.
              Except that 2FA is not going to stop at all and that's the disagreement I have with Alex about it here https://una.io/page/view-discussion?id=1135
              2FA will not prevent a scammer from coming back to create his account ten minutes after I delete it, since I can not memorize the problem number and prevent it from being used again. Too bad, very bad.
              I do not need to use Twilio for members who behave correctly. These are the others the big problem.
              After we have others. I saw that we can block some countries, it's better than nothing, but for $ 8 a month you have proxies that work well and allow you to connect from anywhere on the planet, so that it does not serve much.
              What else? I do not know what Facebook and Twitter have, but what I do know is that we do not have much to fight the problem you're talking about.
              AMS from AQB will help, he will be here soon. But we need a maximum of detection tool. I have said it many times, it is not a problem to be taken lightly.

              • Yes, it's difficult this topic. Been going nuts myself.  I agree with you in regards to try to keep a tight community.
