Authentication Advise 🔒

Going to be releasing v1 of LogHarvestor's platform this May or June. Right now I just have "credential" authentication (username/password) but I was considering adding SSO using GitHub, Google, etc. I have a feeling that this would improve my conversion rates, but I wanted to see if anyone has done this and seen an increase in user signups.
Any advice? Should I spend time on SSO or just stick with credential authentication?

I don't think you need to add it in the early stages of your product development, and many tools out there that do have it, offer it mostly on larger plans.
@davor_kolenc This is good advice. No need to overcomplicate things :)
Yeah it definitely seems to have taken root in more premium offerings, we did choose to implement it up front from a user experience perspective, and our tech stack made it more approachable
@dylan_merideth Hmm, I think my stack might allow for it too. I am using NextJs, and considering switching to NextAuth or Passport for managing sessions.
Which stack do you use?
@solomon_bush we are using nextjs and Firebase, which happens to come with Google authentication out of the box
