I think that we should keep it. The problem I want to solve is the need to enter information that we can derive from the third party authentication.

> We do already fill in the email address and username where they are available from the third party but we can't guarantee that the user won't need to change them - the username might already be in use for example.

We may have the screen to choose the username only if it's already used. Otherwise, they can change it in the settings later on.

> Also while we can trust the email if it's a gmail address from authenticating via google that's not really true for the other providers as they don't control the email addresses so at best they know that the address was valid at some point in the past, so we still need to do an email confirmation.

I believe it's safe for most of the providers already present, but if you think it's only ok for Google, I'm fine with that.
