See why proprietary oAuth is actually not the best idea ether?

I remember years ago i hosted my own auth server, and many websites actually let you put in your own "auth uri". Was that oauth as well? What happened with this?

I am not even talking of oAuth yet, was looking at plain email/username - password combination.but yeah oAuth is a big factor too. How do I do a forget password if the email is going to end up in some dead land.
