Where do I enter my password?

Actually, we don't support password-based login. Never have. Just the OAuth methods above. Why?

  2. It lets us avoid storing passwords that hackers could access and use to try to log into our users' email or bank accounts.
  3. It makes it harder for one person to share a paid Interview Cake account with multiple people.
