Linking accounts

Opera offers the option of connecting one’s Opera account with those of Facebook and Google and Apple. What I can’t find anywhere is an explanation of why anyone would do that. What is the benefit? How does it work? Does it mean that, when I sign into Opera, I’m signed into the other accounts or vice versa? I’m not suggesting it’s a bad thing to do this; I just don’t see the point, and I can’t find an explanation.

So, what’s the point?

@RickW12 It means that you can (or could at least) use those accounts to login in to your Opera account.

What's the advantage of that?

@leocg And it just means using the usernames and passwords for those accounts to get into Opera?

@RickW12 I guess so, like other places also do

@leocg I don't know about other places. It isn't at all clear in Opera's instructions how it works. It just asks if you want to do it. So if I say yes, what then? Do I use my Google credentials to log into Opera?

If there isn't a helpful answer this time, I'll drop it.

@RickW12 As the page says, it allows you to access your Opera account using your credentials from Google, Facebook or Apple.

@leocg Why would someone want to do that? Just to have to remember fewer usernames and passwords?

@RickW12 Probably.
