I really like the way TranferWise (transferwise.com) automatically signs me in when I load the page. It's a way to transfer money online so has to be secure, but uses my email authentication to verify it's me. I don't even have to click a sign-in button! I'm surprised this hasn't caught on more...

The link describes something very common.

The only difference I can see is that they ask you the email to figure if you are coming from yahoo or Google while the most common pattern is to show two buttons.

I don't think asking your email is a good idea, email is a something they should ask to the identity provider instead.
