Passwordless auth + socials oAuth, good enough?
I'm building a B2B/power user tool and I'm considering just having passwordless auth (OTP/magic link via email) + Google and Github oAuth.
Anyone have experience with just having these options? Do most users hate it or is it just a angry minority?

I usually do Google auth + passwordless. That satisfies most people.
I think people tend to bitch and moan about passwordless authentication options, but products like Nomadlist have used them for years and are insanely successful financially, so I'd focus more on having a good product vs. optimizing every last detail of the login flow.
Seconded! Also, you can usually tell once you have customers/users and some will ask/demand for other options
I went for passwordless only with
#beanvest 
#melies and it satisfies most people.
Some people did not like it.
Now I'm using SSO only for
So I would say you're pretty good with passwordless + SSO (I would add Microsoft/Linkedin for B2B depending on the audience)
Great, thanks!
