Ditto. I don't have a Facebook account. I kind of have a Twitter account but

1- I use it so little that I would have to look up my credentials and that's a pain

2- I will never sign into a new / unknown website with Twitter for fear that the website would start tweeting nonsense on my behalf.

With regards to #2, doesn't Twitter auth include permissions so most non-spamming sites shouldn't even have permission to tweet nonsense on your behalf? Or am I misremembering? (As it turns out, the only time I ever used the Twitter auth was about a year and a half ago or so, I think.)

With regards to #1, hilariously that's one of the problems that this sort of single-sign-on is supposed to solve.
